Korean Republic
 * Events before 2150: During most of the first half of the 21th century, Korea was known for its technological advances and constant conflicts with North Korean, always supporting the West in most foreign affairs. However, with the collapse of the UN, ASEAN, and of countries like the USA and China, the Korean peninsula became part of the worldwide spotlight once again as North Korea invaded South Korea in 2050 (during the 100 anniversary of the Korean War), quickly advancing towards Seoul. Seoul was eventually encircled and everything seemed lost for the South Koreans. But one General called Shen-wu arrrived from Busan along with a mixed army of robotic and human troops and after a bloody battle he was capable of liberating the south korean capital. Shen-wu led the counterattack against North Korean forces and by September 2051 Pyongyang was already surrounded by Shen's army. However, the north korean dictator Kim-Jong Un launched chemical weapons on the south korean capital, killing dozens of thousands of innocent people. South Korea retaliated by launching an small nuclear weapon bought from the Chinese in Chongjin, an action questioned by even some south koreans. Eventually, the two Koreas agreed on a armistice where none of them would lose any lands, restoring the old borders. Once again, no peace treaty was signed, and technically the two koreas are still at war to this day since 1950. It is estimated that at ñeast 4.4 million people died in the war. Shen-wu became a national hero and a big statue of him was built in Seoul after his death in 2067. The demilitarized zone was abolished, and a great wall in the border between North Korea and South Korea was built by NK with the help of an organization called "The Trump Organization", with north korean guards patrolling the 24 hours, resembling the Berlin Wall. After the war, South Korea started to militarize and research on new technologies, remaining a democracy through more than a century. By 2100, South Korea had completly recuperated from the Second Korean War and it became even more modernized than before, with the most advanced technology in the world only surpassed by Japan. It also became one of the most powerful nations military speaking, as it has been always prepared for a third korean war, investing in military technologies with their thriving economy. Recently, the Korean Unity party won the elections, and the first Cyborg president was elected, Kim Shen-Wu, a descendent of General Shen-Wu. He seeks to reunify the Korean peninsula at all cost, and he starts increasing border vigilance with North Korea.
 * Goverment: The goverment is currently ruled by the Korean Unity party, which is a nationalist party that seeks the reunification of the Korean peninsula, they hold a majority in the National Assembly and control the executive power with Kim-Shen Wu. Shen-Wu promotes Korean nationalism in propaganda and multiple speeches, calling koreans to take action to reunifiy the peninsula. Conscription is also enforced since 2148, in preparation for war with North Korea. Not much can be highlighted from the goverment, all koreans enjoy excelent civil rights since 2000s, domestic issues from 21th century have mostly been solved. Crime is also quite reduced but not completely eradicated, police has been replaced by new gemeration automatons that constatly patroll the Korean streets looking for criminals.
 * Military:
 * Korean Army: Unlike other countries, Korea decided to not replace their army for robots completely, because they found out that North Korean hackers managed to hack into south korean robotic soldiers. Instead, South Korea promoted the creation of Cyborgs, as they can not be hacked and keep their human abilities such as reasoning but still have the enchanced strenght and do not get tired like a robotic soldier. Through the years, many south korean soldiers agreed on turning into cyborgs by adding robotic parts to their bodies and they are currently the biggest branch of the Korean army. The Korean Army is divided in three branches; The Cyborg branch has ~2.5 million cyborgs in service, the Human branch has 2 million soldiers distributed in active and reserve troops. The Robotic branch has at least 1.5 million robotic soldiers, which are either automated or controlled from a robotic centre. This totals 6 million troops. The human troops are equiped with a power armor that augments their capacities to the limit and that also includes a jetpack and a camouflage device (that allows them to become invisible for a few minutes), a plasma rifle, a laser sniper rifle, an small railgun and EMP granades (the equipment can vary between troops). Cyborgs are more varied, they can use plasma, laser or gauss weapons which are directly integrated into their bodies, having additional strenght in battle with the enchacement of the robotic parts. The robotic soldiers normally use laser weapons.
 * Land Forces: Korean land vehicles include 100 Saber-class armored tanks (Their most powerful tank, it is a fast tank with twin laser canons, a gauss cannon, a payload of missiles, a shield that can resist most attacks and with a crew of three people, one for the laser cannonw, one for the gauss and one for controlling it), 500 "Wraiths" (Armored tanks with an huge plasma turret capable of blowing up armored structures and military vehicles with one shoot, one small laser cannon, also equiped with a shield), 1800 railgun tanks, 700 laser tanks, at least 300 hybrid tanks that can use either railguns, plasma, gauss or lasers at the same time, 30 AT-ATs inspired from the Star Wars saga, 15 "Mantis" (giant robots that work like mechas that can be controlled by an human inside them) a couple artillery pieces which are mostly gauss artillery estimated in 3500-6000 pieces, and last but not least important; a BUNCH of transport trucks.
 * Naval Forces: Most naval forces are automated with manned crews managing them at the same time. Although the Navy is the less strong out of the four Korean Armed Forces areas, it is also quite strong and comparable to that of China, but Japanese and Indian are stronger (The strongest branch of Korea is land, possibly the strongest in the world but idk). There is an estimated of 700 military ships which can go from small destroyers with a laser turret to massive aircraft carriers with last generation weapons, there are also around 400 transport ships. The most powerful piece of the Korean Navy is the "Onslaught-class Aircraft carrier", it is the biggest Korean ship in existance and carries both aircraft and land forces to storm enemy ships in battle and if possible even send land forces to board enemy ships, it contains a large gauss riffle that is powerful enough to blow up an middle size ship with a single shoot but it takes time to charge and it can only shoot once, it also includes a couple laser cannons im the borders that are controlled by robot soldiers, their strenght is similar to that of a turret but they can damage an enemy ship really quickly if they are all used at once, the ship also has experimental energy shields that protect it from all enemy attacks for a limited time, however since they are experimental they are not fully functioning and they can even malfunction and cause the ship to explode because of overload so they are not used yet. There are currently 10 Onslaught-class aircarft carriers.
 * Air Forces: The Korean Air Forces are nearly completely composed by drones and automated unlike the Navy and the Army. Korea has around 2 million light drones (small drones with a light railgun or an small lase cannon that can shoot fast but are quite weak, they work better in groups, equivalent of chinese light drones), 10K medium drones (of the size of a normal fighter jet, normally equiped with a laser cannon and missiles, normal resistance), 2.5K heavy drones (Bigger than regular aircraft, more firepower, more resistance, normally use railguns, missiles, also equiped with a laser beam that can easily destroy a regular aircraft, used to command large numbers of forces), at least 1200 drone bombers. Kore also has 3 "helicarriers" from "Project Shield". Helicarriers are basically aeral aircraft carriers, a massive ship that works like an air base, stocking thousands of light drones, and at least 120 bombers, medium and heavy drones. The helicarrier also has a bunch of plasma and laser turrets, a large laser beam capable of destroying large drones, and an experimental energy shield (same case than onslaught aircraft carrier, doesnt works well yet). It also stocks hundreds of robots, soldiers and cyborgs.
 * Space Forces: Korea is one of the few countries with space military forces, having an agency called Korean Space Command (KSC) for military space affairs. However, the Korean Space Forces are far from big, as they only have a medium-sized cruiser named "Tantive IV" that is mostly used for transport, but also has twin laser cannons and a rocket launcher, it has a crew of 120 space marines and it also has an small harbor for 8 starships to roam. However, only 4 of these places are occupied; Korea has 3 "X-Wings" (crew of 1 person, has 4 laser cannons and 1 photon torpedo launcher, it's wings resemble an X as it's name states) and only 1 "Y-Wing" (a photon bomber equiped with two small laser cannons, crew of 2). Korea also has 10,000 space marines, from whom around 1,500 are cyborgs.
 * Operation Morning Star: The south korean goverment starts planning Operation Morning Star, which is esentially continuing the war with North Korea that has been going for 200 years, this time, South Korea would strike first and defeat North Korea within a 3 years period thanks to its technological and military advantage. Military exersices are conducted, and the people of Shenwung are prepared for this.
 * Economy: Stable, probably one of the strongest (no idea what to put here).
 * Demographics: The current population of Korea is 78,567,234 people. Although the population was estimated to drop because of the aging problem, it was solved back in the 2050s; By 2050, the Korean population was ~50 million, however, after the second part of the Korean war it dropped to ~44.9 million. To solve the aging problem, the president at that time decided to enact a two children policy, following Japan's example, forcing every citizen to have at least three biological children by the age of 40. With this, the Korean population managed to increase. In 2123, the policy was reduced to just having at least two biological sons and it is kept to this day. Space colonization, ocean cities and taller skycraspers have prevented any overpopulation problems that could appear. In more statistics, around 84% of the population is from Korean ethnicy. Minority groups include Chinese (7%), Japanese (5%), South East Asian (2.5%) and others (1.5%). Around 43% of the population is irreligious and 30% is buddhist. Korean is widely spoken, English is still taught at school (since it is probably still the lingua franca of the world even though most of the Anglo world collapsed) along with Chinese/Japanese (students choose two languages).
 * Technology:
 * Health: The Korean Republic is one of the most advanced countries along with Japan in the scientific and health matter. Because of this, the life expectancy is around 120 years for a male and 128 for a female. Some people who are 80 years old look like 35 and they are always searching for ways to look even younger. Artificial organs are common, and many mortal diseases back in the 2010s such as Cancer and AIDS are now easily cured, leaving many health problems in the past. During 2090s, an "ideology" known as "Transhumanism" became popular in South Korea. People who promoted the ideology thought that the human should take advantage of the technological advances to enchance their body functions, such as using robotic limbs and organs, which are not always used because they need them, but for becoming "better", because transhumanists thought that this was the next step of human evolution. Professional runners tend to use robotic legs to enchance their speed, for example. However, not everyone supports transhumanism in Korea. Although it is estimated that at least 59% of Koreans have some sort of artificial implant, but only 9% are considered "cyborgs".
 * Space: Throught the years, Korea developed an advanced space program, discovering different ways of making space travels and colonization easier. As a result of this, Korea currently has colonies in The Moon and Mars. The main colony in Mars is Wushon, with 3.7 million people, and Xiliang in The Moon, with at least 2 million inhabitants.
 * Ocean Cities: During 2070s, a company called Yoshimitzu Corporation agreed on collaborating with the Korean goverment to create "Ocean Cities", huge structures floating in the sea that act as a regular city. After years and years of research on how to make the cities substainable and stable, the first floating city called Quanchong  was built. Nowadays, there are 17 ocean cities distributed around Korean waters, they hold an special status and are autonomous, something that is criticized by people living in land because they think that they should be part of the administrative division that holds into their territorial waters.
 * Research:
 * Energy Shields: The Korean Republic starts researching on energy shields, although they are already used in an experimental phase with "super korean vehicles" like the Helicarrier, the Mantis and the Onslaught carrier, they have high chances of malfunctioning and they are not very strong, thus they are rarely used. Because of this, the research will take many years, as they plan to succesfully integrate them on vehicles.
 * Supersoldiers: Although other nations (probably) decided to research on creating supersoldiers, Korea did not in favor of robotics and power armors. In order to complement their armed forces, Korean scientists start researching on modifying certain genes to augment human capacities.
 * Space ships: Since the Korean Military forces in space only have 1 small cruiser and 4 starfighters (3 X-Wings and 1 Y-Wing), Korea starts focusing on producing more starfighters and more powerful cruisers. For now, 2  Y-Wings have been comissioned and scientists are researchig on newer models of cruiser to replace the Tantive IV that was built in 2132.
 * Cloning: Conducted by the same teams of sicentists, a cloning project begins, seeking to bring back species from extinction. It will take a couple years to develop.
 * Cities:
 * Greater Seoul-Incheon: Back in 2040s, Seoul was one of the most populated metropolitan areas in the world. However, after the second part of the Korean War, the city's growth was affected massively. After the three children policy was enacted, the city began to grow again. By 2090, Seoul had merged with the city of Incheon, forming the great metropolitan area of Seoul-Incheon. The metro coninues to grow to this day, and the total population of Greater Seoul-Incheon is around 37,560,000, making it one of the most populated metropolitan areas in the world. The city is highly modernized, and it is the technological, economical and political center of Korea.
 * Busan: Busan is the second largest city in South Korea, with the metropolitan area being around 12,300,000 people. Although it wasn't affected during the second korean war, it's growth rate is more slow, because the local goverment reduced the three mandatory children policy to just one.
 * Quanchong: Quanchong is the biggest  and oldest ocean city in Korea, located off Sepul-Incheon coasts. Since the city was build in the 2070s, it has seen exponential growth as it keeps expanding every with help of the Yozhimitsu Corporation. The total population is 3,233,500 people, compared to 10,000 when it was founded. The people of Quanchong are excempt of the mandatory children policy.
 * Shenwung: Shenwung is coastal a city located a few kilometers from the North Korean border. It was built after the second korean war and it's purpose is acting as a defensive center in case of a northkorean attack. It is the biggest military center in South Korea, containing a big naval military port, at least 3 air force bases and even more military bases. Most of the people living here is part of the Korean Armed Forces, although civilians can live on it too, but they most recieve military training. The population is ~400,000. The city was named after the hero of the second korean war, General Shen-Wu.
 * Diplomacy:
 * Asian Defence Council: South Korea proposes to form the Asian Defence Council to promote military and economic between east asian nations. A free trade agreement, alliance and non-aggresion pact will be signed between all members once they join. China, Japan and Siberia are invited to the alliance.
 * Japan: Is invited to ADC.
 * China: Is invited to ADC.
 * Siberia: Is invited to ADC.
 * India: The trade agreement proposal is accepted.
