=== History of Greater Korea ===
Greater Korea has a short-lived yet storied history. The current state of Korea is derived from the shortly lived former Tang Empire of China. Long before the start of Season 5 the Tang Dynasty had plans to rule over most over modern-day China and Korea. However, the nation slowly declined in activity and membership over time. Araciel, the Queen of Greater Korea, initially left the Tang Dynasty to form her own independent kingdom of Korea. However, decided to rejoin Tang and govern Korea under the Tang government. 
Once season 5 began and Tang was founded it quickly fell short of its former aspirations, goals, and status as a world power. With most members leaving and losing interest Araciel, and Exesa, the then Emperor of Tang, decided to restructure the Tang Empire into a smaller kingdom re-centralized around Korea, Greater Shanghai, and Hainan. Following this Araciel was given leadership over the newly created nation name Greater Korea.
Korea's first settlement was in Pyeongyang, the de jure capital of the nation. Since, Arttrash has founded the city of Busan, Kim Jong Un founded the city of Wonsan, and Lunae the city of Hamhung on the Korean Peninsula. There are plans to also begin construction of the Korean capital Hanseong soon. Prior to Korea's settlement Hainan was the first established town in the Tang dynasty, though its influence in the nation has recently diminished.
