The Democratic People's Republic of New Goguryeo is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by God-Emperor Kim Byeong-Ho with an iron fist, and remarkable for its compulsory vegetarianism, prohibition of alcohol, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 17.61 billion Koreans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized morass — prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Administration are also considered important, while International Aid is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pyongyang. The income tax rate is 100%.
The frighteningly efficient Korean economy, worth a remarkable 7,663 trillion Won a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, highly specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is an amazing 435,204 Won, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Retirement homes are often fitted with luxurious suites, the government funds large training centres to turn Giant Pandas into functioning members of society, the military is slashing spending on conventional arms and diverting it to spending on prosthetic arms, and political activists are routinely executed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Goguryeo's national animal is the Giant Panda, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is the Korean Imperial Cult.
New Goguryeo is ranked 8,148th in the world and 173rd in the Rejected Realms for Highest Wealthy Incomes, with 534,223 Standard Monetary Units.
