The People's Republic of Hangeok is a huge, genial nation, notable for its frequent executions, unlimited-speed roads, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 635 million Koreans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Seoul. The average income tax rate is 66.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Korean economy, worth 56.4 trillion won a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 88,767 won, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Economic planning is exalted as a human art form, everybody's got wood thanks to Leader, construction of the Really Big Hadron Collider is underway, and there's nothing more rock-and-roll than absolute sobriety. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hangeok's national animal is the tiger, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Hangeok is ranked 174,644^th in the world and 233^rd in The Communist Bloc for Largest Timber Woodchipping Industry, scoring 1,645.73 on the Tasmanian Pulp Environmental Export Index.
