The Democratic People's Republic of New Goguryeo is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by God-Emperor Kim Byeong-Ho with an iron fist, and notable for its ban on automobiles, parental licensing program, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 16.473 billion Koreans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized morass — prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Administration also on the agenda, while International Aid isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pyongyang. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Korean economy, worth a remarkable 6,819 trillion Won a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, highly specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is an amazing 413,951 Won, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Korean watches are often the only thing to survive a disaster intact, failed genetic experiments wreak havoc as they roam the countryside, arthritic citizens seem underrepresented at royal meet-and-greets, and fireworks and other big bangs are forbidden during the newest public holiday. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Goguryeo's national animal is the Giant Panda, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is the Korean Imperial Cult.

New Goguryeo is ranked 58^th in the world and 4^th in the Rejected Realms for Lowest Crime Rates, with 310.46 law-abiding acts per hour.
