Joseon (wip)

 * Government: Absolute Monarchy
 * King - Myeongjong
 * Regent (If need arises) - Queen Munjeong
 * Economy: The Joseon economy is a vast web of trade in East Asia, healthy trade relationships are upheld with all Joseonese neighbors as prized porcelain, jewelry, ginseng, and others flow regularly out of the ports of the nation. Merchants from the Han states are taking a bit more of a foothold at the moment due to the situation in Nihon. The vast majority of people, of course, still make their money from agriculture. Class mobility is heavily limited.
 * Alliances
 * Demographics
 * Population - 8,700,000
 * Ethinicities 
 * Koreans (93%) - Ethnic "Koreans" born into families of "Korean" blood. Up to 3/4 "Korean" blood is counted in this category.
 * Nihonese (4%) - Mostly refugees fleeing from the conflicts occuring in the area, though a few are those Nihonese came for other reasons. Up to half Nihonese blood is categorized here.
 * "Northerners" (2%) - An umbrella term I'm using for now for those people from the "Semi-Korean" states in the north, such as the Jochueron.
 * Others (1%) - The vast majority of those in this category come from the various Han states, mostly merchants or other relatively well off people who have settled in the kingdom for various reasons. The rest are cobbled from other states down south such as Syonan.
 * Religons - 
 * Official Religion - Neo-Confucianism (should that exist) with Joseonese influences. Set in stone already from generations of state sponsorship, there's no way to remove this religion without completely flipping the Korean society upside down
 * Other Religions, which include
 * Buddhism - A surpressed religion, though it has been making a comeback with Munjeong's regency, her being a Buddhist herself. However, once she lets go of the reins of control, the future of Buddhism in the Joseon Kingdom will be uncertain again.
 * Korean Shamanism - The religion also known as Shindo.  Similarities can be drawn between Nihonese Shintoism, and even possibly Tengrism and otherwise. Branches differ across the land, mainly divided across lines of north and south in theology and otherwise.
 * Cities and Rural
 * ​​Hanseong (better known as Seoul) - 'The capital of the nation, it holds 348,000 people. The outskirts hold 375,000 people.
 * Pyongyang - The dominant city in the northern regions, serving also as a backup capital in case of a Southern Invasion. It holds 200,000 people, with 250,000 in the outskirts.
 * Jeju - The center of the similarly named Jeju Island, it has a population of 20,000.
 * Haeju - A coastal trade-based city well based between Pyonyang and Hanseang. The city itself has 100,000 people, and the outskirts hold 125,000.
 * Pyeongtaek - Another trading city, the city has 80,000 and the outskirts with 100,000.
 * Chongjin - Small coastal city, the city has 15,000 men.
 * Hamhung - Coastal city, the city has 20,000 people.
 * Hyesan - The northernmost city, should the Jorchureon invade, this will certainly be the first to fall. Population 25,000.
 * Wonju - Some random inland city, Population 30,000 people.
 * Daegu - Large inland city with a population of 175,000, the outskirts with 250,000.
 * Gongju - Another one of those inland cities, with population of 25,000.
 * Jeonju - Inland city, population of 20,000.
 * Rural Lands - 6,562,000
 * Military -
 * Land Forces 
 * Cavalry (12,500) - The better ones usually hail from the northern territories, other than that, there's not much to say about them.
 * Infantry (25,000) - The normal, somewhat rudimentarily trained infantry. Most are just trained in close-range melee, though there are some trained in polearms, bows, etc.
 * Officers (2,500) - Officers of all ranks in the Army, whilst some are undeniably of great talent, the roles of others and how they managed to get that job may be questionable.
 * Logistical Support Infantry (3,500) - Filling in various jobs with supplies of food, weaponry, and so on.
 * Specialists (6,500) - This comprises mostly of engineers and soldiers working with other advanced weaponry, notably the Hanseong Garrison has the only arquebusiers in the nation, with 1,000 of these troops. The Hwacha, with it's devastating capabilities, is also primarily manned by these people.
 * Navy
 * Geobuksen (30) - Also known as "Turtle Ships", whilst not the improved design laid upon later in the century, they still pack the punch.
 * Panokseon (100) - A multiple-deck battleship with the capability to deliver devastating fire onto the enemy before it can be boarded. Though only 5 years old and new to the field, it has already gained the respect of the Joseonese Navy in all tiers of command.
 * Transport/Supply Ships (300) - Unarmored or lightly armored ships with quick speeds made for delivering whatever's needed to it's destination.
 * Converted Ships (50) - Varying greatly for each ship, usualy these are merchant ships purchased by military individuals and then redesigned personally for command.
 * Sailors (15,000)
 * Reserve Sailors (20,000)
 * Wars and Conflicts - 
 * Currently None
 * Diplomacy (If you wanna do Diplomacy, please inform me on Discord)
 * Events
 * ​​​​​​​Myeongjong's Regency - The emperor is already old enough to run the nation, but Myeongjong, his regent, still refuses to let go of power. Rumors of a palace coup buzz around the courts, and whether or not either her or the king will take action is unknown.
 * The Rise of Republican Ideals - The current war raging inside of Nihon brings much interest and worry to various factions in the Joseon court and academics. Though many nations, especially those in Southeast Asia have already been practicing these relatively democratic principles for quite a long time, the fact that Nihon itself now possibly becomes a Federation throws the future of society into the dark, some of these academics have already began gathering to draft a plan for the eventual conversion of the Joseon Kingdom into a Federation themselves.
 * The State of the Military - During the inspection held of the military, on Myeongjong's orders, the results coming back are worrisome. Though most of the inspected areas have scored relatively well, the decline from the last inspection and the well known corruption that runs in the institutions makes for uncertainty. Should the Jochureon ever decide to invade, or if the Nihonese war spills over to the Kingdom, will it be able to stand and fight?
