Korea

## Government

The Korean Republic is orchestrated by a direct democracy and a constitution that the President must follow. There also exists the symbolic monarch, known as the Hwangje. The citizen population is automatically enrolled into the National Assembly which is the law creating body of the Korean Republic. From there they can propose new laws, remove laws, alter existing laws, create constitutional amendments, and initiate other proposals. The whole of the National Assembly then votes for a President every two months, in which the President picks their cabinet to help aid them in running the country.

## History

### Early History

With the foundation of Pyongyang, the current capital of the Korean Republic by Vorobyevite, the nation swelled into the world with multiple towns joining in rapid succession, alongside blazing recruitment drives.

During the first week of creation, attempts to reach out into the international community bore some success, with the establishment of cordial relations between the USA, and Oceania. Talks of trade began between the nations and a general feeling of unity has been felt throughout the nations.

### Tartu's Request for Protection

The former town of Tartu, which had been in the midst of the unstable Baltic region requested to become a protected city state within the Korean Republic, stopping short of actual annexation.

### Conflict with Britain and Terra Mariana

The Korean Republic had discovered Britain, later Terra Mariana, headed by Ka9l plans for aggression against Korean towns. While no official dialog took place, and the cause for such rhetoric is unknown, this had soured relations within the National Assembly of Korea. On March 19th, 2020, Britain collapsed and formed into Terra Mariana with two of the largest towns, Washington D.C and London joining it. These events lead to the first war with that Korea has taken part in.

### Decline and Resurgence

On April 5th, 2020, the Korean Republic began a slow decline in activity, members, and towns. Multiple towns disbanded or fell into ruin and Elections were suspended. Most of the international community regarded it as dead, or barely active. The Empire of Japan had ambitions to conquer Korea and it's surrounding towns when it collapsed, but on May 14, 2020, Vorobyevite had returned and began working towards reunifying the lost core lands of the Korean Republic, developing the capital and remaining towns, and restoring activity within the National Assembly. On June 12th, 2020, Vorobyevite and Isacle used the national funds to expand the borders of Pyongyang and Busan to encompass the majority of Korea, Chrysoprasus recreating the fallen town of Linjiang, now renamed Rangrim, and KrazyKat1 forming the new town of Samcheok which was later renamed to Wonju, in the center of Korea. On the same day, the Unity Seawall began construction, with the idea of encompassing the entirety of the Korean peninsula's coastline.

### Japanese Relations

With Korea rising back from the ashes, it's neighbor the Empire of Japan was lukewarm about it's revival. However after multiple talks, one vote which ended voting nay for the Korean Republic to be annexed, and rising threats from outside of Asia, the Japanese and Korean governments came to an agreement to become allies. This has formed a strong, and brotherly rivalry between the two nations. Constantly trying to best each other in terms of architecture, technology, arms, and diplomacy. This alliance is to be ratified in the National Assembly complex, in Pyongyang, Korea.

### Koryo Museum

With the completion of the National Assembly, and Juche Tower, Vorobyevite's administration began to focus more closely on the history of the server. More specifically, preserving artifacts and documents of fallen nations. From June 13th, 2020 to June 25th, 2020, Vorobyevite and multiple members of Pyongyang sent out expeditions via air planes and submarines to fallen towns across the globe, recovering droves of artifacts, uncraftable items, rare scrolls, and no longer obtainable items. Many documents, flags, heads, and books were also recovered and safely stored until the construction of Koryo Museum. On the night of June 24th, 2020, construction of Koryo Museum began, and by the next afternoon on June 25th, 2020, the structure was finished.

### Formation of the Royal Family

On June 29th, 2020, the National Assembly put to a very close vote to crown Vorobyevite as Hwangje of Korea, and sparking the Korean Reformation. The Hwangje would have limited powers within the government, and act as an advisor to the President if called upon. And thus the Noon royal family name was created, alongside it's coat of arms, a Black Dragon.

## Foreign Affairs

Korea maintains a neutral standpoint in the geopolitical stage, however they support their fellow Democracies. The Korea Republic founded the Aegis League, a federation of nations similar to NATO that call upon each other to defend each other in times of wars of aggression toward fellow Aegis League members.

## Elections

The Korean Republic, being a democracy has presidential elections. Elections are held every two months, and elect a cabinet to work in the administration The government has a multi round election system, where if no candidate reaches 67% of the vote, the current two leading candidates with the most votes face off to become the president, while all other candidates step down from running.
