Republic of Korea (former) | Korean State (present)

 * Government:
 * Politics:
 * Assassination of President Moon Jae-in: On March 27th, 2019, the president of the Republic of Korea, His Excellency Moon Jae-in was assassinated. In an emergency statement, the Prime Minister, now President, Lee Nak-yeon has declared that emergency elections will be held on the fifth of July.
 * Emergency Elections: The day has come, the fifth of July, 2019. After months of campaigning it seems clear about who the winner will be: Choo Mi-ae of the Democratic Party of Korea. But, it seems that a certain "patriotic party" of Korea has different plans.
 * Transition into a Nationalist State: On the seventeeth of July, only a week after Her Excellency Choo Mi-ae's inauguration, the National Assembly Proceeding Hall is stormed by hundreds of members of the alt-right party, the Korean Patriotic Party. All armed with guns ranging from small handguns to Daewoo K14s, K2s, etc. Being held at gunpoint, without immediate contact with the military due to the "rioters" jamming all cellular and radio devices, they surrender to the KPP. All current members of the National Assembly are replaced with KPP party members, and the presidency is transition from Choo Mi-ae to Kangjon Seung-Hee, the KPP's leader. The title of president is also changed from "President" to "Taewonsu", meaning Grand Marshal [of the State].
 * Laws and Policies:
 * Narcotics: Drugs that are not too damaging to a person or the people, animals, etc. around them are legalized for both medical and person use. This includes mushrooms, ayahuasca, marijuana, and LSD. However, tobacco is completely banned due to its high risk and rate of lung cancer, both to the user and those around them. Another regulation is that those who have visited a bar are not allowed to leave without having a breathalyzer test performed on them.
 * Abortion: Abortion is made strictly. If they do not want their child or do not have the ability to care for the child, they will put it up for adoption. To compensate for this, state-funded adoption agencies are created and funded.
 * Unemployment: In order to compensate for unemployment, many of the unemployed, whether male or female, are forced into working in the military, whether it be active duty or medical, etc.


 * Analytics:
 * Economy: Many new policies are made in economics to improve it. The first policy is to increase interest rates through the Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve's rate is the rate at which banks borrow money from the government, but, in order to make money, they must lend it at higher rates. So, when the Federal Reserve increases its interest rate, banks have no choice but to increase their rates as well. When banks increase their rates, less people want to borrow money because it costs more to do so if that money accrues interest. So, spending drops, prices drop and inflation slows. The second method is to increase reserve requirements on the amount of money banks are legally required to keep on hand to cover withdraws. The more money banks are required to hold back, the less they have to lend to consumers. If they have less to lend, consumers will borrow less, which will decrease spending. The third method is to directly or indirectly reduce the money supply by enacting policies that encourage reduction of the money supply. Two examples of this include calling in debts that are owed to the government and increasing the interest paid on bonds so that more investors will buy them. The latter policy raises the exchange rate of the currency due to higher demand and, in turn, increases imports and decreases exports. Both of these policies will reduce the amount of money in circulation because the money will be going from banks, companies and investors pockets and into the government’s pocket where they can control what happens to it.
