The Federation of Yeonsangun is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Prime Minister Nam Jung Woo with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls. Its hard-nosed, intelligent population of 2.756 billion 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 concentrates mainly on Education, although Commerce and the Environment are on the agenda. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sariwŏn. The average income tax rate is 68%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Tourism industry, followed by Book Publishing and Soda Sales.

Teams of painters are converting road signs from horse lengths to kilometers, mobile phone masts are being erected all over the country, Yeonsangun's nuclear reactors are held together with party string and Hubba Bubba, and citizens are tied down and forced to watch educational videos on empathy. Crime is moderate, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Yeonsangun's national animal is the White-naped Crane, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is Protestantism, and its currency is the Korean Won.

Yeonsangun is ranked 83rd in Korean Reunification and 47,311th in the world for Healthiest Citizens, with 3 Standard Bananas Ingested per capita per day.
