The Republic of The Korean Capitalist Empire is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Kim Yul-Seok with a fair hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, sprawling nuclear power plants, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 4.046 billion Koreans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.
The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Seoul. The average income tax rate is 14.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Korean economy, worth 655 trillion Won a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 161,961 Won, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.
Citizens select which government department gets their income tax Won each year, the blood, sweat, and tears of poor Koreans make research institutes rich, newspapers and TV broadcasters are given a list of 'acceptable words', and the latest guided missile cruiser "Ship-1642" has received precisely zero column inches in the press. Crime is totally unknown. The Korean Capitalist Empire's national animal is the Korean Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
The Korean Capitalist Empire is ranked 23,211th in the world and 1,318th in Lazarus for Most Cultured, scoring 87 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
