Location: Unified Korea

Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Federation of The Democratic Unified Korea is a huge, socially progressive nation, notable for its punitive income tax rates. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 659 million enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Commerce, although Education and Defence are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Unified Korea City. The average income tax rate is 64%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Book Publishing industry, followed by Tourism and Soda Sales.

The government is spending millions on renovating the public transportation system, Saturday morning cartoons feature full frontal nudity, parents live in fear of governmental 'child protection' squads, and mining safety laws are often more expensive than what's being mined. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Democratic Unified Korea's national animal is the Cougar, and its currency is the Korea Coin.

The Democratic Unified Korea is ranked 1st in Unified Korea and 89,986th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -22 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
