The Democratic People's Republic of Choi Aeguka is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by National Executive Kang Dae-geon with an even hand, and remarkable for its parental licensing program, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 3.352 billion Choi Aegukese are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aejeon Special City. The average income tax rate is 85.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Choi Aegukese economy, worth 560 trillion Aeguk National Won a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 167,091 Aeguk National Won, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The name of the "Butcher of Bigtopia" adorns shirts across Choi Aeguka, destitute AIs lurk around online bulletin boards begging for spare Aeguk National Won, sibling rivalry has become a favorite topic for developmental psychologists, and national park visitors are reporting a rash of poison ivy sightings. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Choi Aeguka's national animal is the Aeguk Gray Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Choi Aeguka is ranked 4,976th in the world and 1st in Far East Oriental Federation for Lowest Crime Rates, with 116.33 law-abiding acts per hour.
