The People's Republic of Koreseon is a huge, genial nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, compulsory military service, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 574 million Koreans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 61.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but sluggish Koreseonian economy, worth 17.7 trillion Korean Won a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Trout Farming. Average income is 30,752 Korean Won, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Kids are arrested at gunpoint for playing with toy rifles, the nation's universities are often mistaken for foreign embassies, all telephone traffic is monitored for 'national security reasons', and homophobia is off the menu. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Koreseon's national animal is the Siberian Tiger.
Koreseon is ranked 253,548th in the world and 13,477th in Lazarus for Highest Drug Use, scoring 51.42 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
