The Capitalist Republic of Japanese Kore is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Jungkook Seok with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, ubiquitous missile silos, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, devout population of 6.952 billion Koreans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Seoul. The average income tax rate is 56.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Korean economy, worth 943 trillion Won a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 135,686 Won, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The latest electric jet fighter has almost enough battery charge to reach cruising altitude -- provided you don't use the radar, the government only invests in infrastructure after a natural disaster, the day of rest is much more restful, and parents live in fear of governmental 'child protection' squads. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Japanese Kore's national animal is the Korean Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Shinto Buddhism.

Japanese Kore is ranked 21,597^th in the world and 11^th in Krillin for Lowest Crime Rates, with 88.43 law-abiding acts per hour.
