State of Korea (part of Lian China) (note I'm a player of former DPRK and Starring at least let me but I'm not confident this time with it [this turn]; in case if admins don't want me to play as a state, i'll leave)
 * Politics: Since DPRK joined China, communism was completely abolished and removed, with Kim Jong-un and his comrades have being backed down and replaced with a new governor. For this former DPRK region now just as the "State of Korea", they have a level high autonomy (idk?). Local North Korean people still wish to merge South Korea and North Korea together but that is over since the government decided to join China and according to them might not be able to make it successful, so they might just give up on reunification however the idea remains the same still. (I haven't played a state or so, but I still want to know what it actually looks like to me)
 * DMZ: The DMZ was set up during a truce and the Kim family won't hold a grudge even if they start reforming its own state economy and government to remove it. The DMZ still exists until 2018, which State of Korea has started tearing down the DMZ and withdraw its last soldiers (despite the army itself has being technically absorbed to the main government of China [my opinion]) by 27th May.
 * Technology: Technology in the past was outdated in 2017, but at 2018 as joining gave that state some benefit to upgrade their technology to recent ones have being immediately being made by local government. Although they are not allowed a military, some research centres continue to conduct research either illegally (to remnant) or for the government of China as contribution. Those that illegally research for former DPRK are being tracked and shut down forcibly within few months since its join.
 * Economy: Since communism is basically abolished and being integrated, average North Koreans begin getting slightly higher wages every month from just $1-2 per month to $5-12 per day (though this is the current minimum wage) and. The State of Korea now starts using the capitalist system rather a centralised communist economical system, though some of them dislike it due to their agenda of being pro-Kim dynasty (they are currently being reeducated some way). Local GDP is around ~98 billion USD before they joined and has being improved by 103.44% as reinvestment and other companies outside of the State of Korea had entered since its join. Existing companies inside the state still exist but are slowly being grown out of favour as they are state controlled before North Korea joins China.
 * Tourism: After joining, the controlled tours are abolished including the controls given to them. Unlike the previous years, the local government lowered prices to attract at least few ten thousands of western tourists from just ten thousand western tourists in overall to see a glance of a final view of the old North Korean buildings before demolition, those who want to see demolition are given a small fee to fund the government to get explosives to tear down those buildings. This would hurt reputation from tourism but its a way to give a last chance of seeing the old communistic view of the state before being demolished as part of the Modernisation Project.
 * Demographics: The State of Korea currently has a population of 27.92 million, mostly due to the former DPRK encouraging children for workforce but since communism was abolished entirely, State of Korea has a slower growth. Ethnicity is predominantly Korean (99%) but that number is expected to drop but at a slow rate, mostly Chinese people.
 * Cities: Not much has changed by geography. Modernisation projects were initiated across many of the former DPRK cities, to reconstruct to look ideally with modern architecture and make it efficient by economy is the local's job.
 * Pyongyang: Communist buildings such as the Juche Tower are planned to be demolished and already ones include the statues of Kim Il-sung and Kim Jong-il are being brought down by thousands of people physically signalling the end of the Kim dynasty. For old communist buildings, they are expected to be reconstructed under the Modernisation Project this year. Tourists are given a last chance for a glimpse of a communist city and existing tour companies have lowered prices and specialised tours such as the Mass Games (without communist agendas as many people decide to redesign the looks) are arranged given. Afterwards as planned, these tour companies can continue to operate independently without any control from government and independent travel should be enough.
 * Kaesong: This city is home to industrial complexes and agricultural zones in its outer parts of the city, mostly these crops include rice, barley, wheat and corn (maize). It is one of the major destinations of tourism and since 2018 just like Pyongyang, independent travel is possible here as well. By the end of the year once the State of Korea and Korean Empire agreed to reunify through Asian Federation, this city will be ceded to the southern part (using 39th parallel since pre-war Korean borders are supposed to be that though looks unnatural).
 * Hamhung: Formerly a chemical industrial town, it was converted to a facility of research centres, specialised for astronautics and other stuff that isn't really military. Re-education camps are demolished this year though some pro-Kim dynasty members were sent here for re-education to remove influence from what Kim Jong-un and previous leaders have done to DPRK.
 * Rason: Being remade into a trading centre.
 * Diplomacy and Opinions:
 * United States: The local government personally dislikes America's movements of declaring a cold war against their main government China even if it classifies as a space race
 * South Korea/Empire of Korea: State of Korea express reunification with them.
 * Main Government/Lian China: State of Korea believes the current government of China gave a high amount of autonomous powers and modernisation required for former DPRK civilians and that freedom of expression has being greatly being increased (although still limited in an aspect).
