The Democratic People's Republic of Choi Aeguka is a huge, efficient nation, ruled by National President Choi Sung-hye with an iron fist, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, frequent executions, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 870 million Aegukese Peoples are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aejeon. The average income tax rate is 59.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Choi Aegukan economy, worth 91.6 trillion Aeguk Republic Won a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 105,277 Aeguk Republic Won, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The country has been 'going shopping' by annexing nearby nations for their resources, strip mining of rare earth metals is up while back problems are down, many former slaves are finding out there is such a thing as a free lunch, and former slave-owners hope there are no hard feelings when they apply for jobs from their erstwhile charges. 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 249,568^th in the world and 10,668^th in The North Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -10.17 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
