The Democratic People's Republic of North Korea Choson is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Kim Jong-Un with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, sprawling nuclear power plants, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed population of 5.114 billion Koreans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pyongyang. The average income tax rate is 95.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Korean economy, worth a remarkable 1,167 trillion Won a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 228,374 Won, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Politicians tend to jump ship to whichever party is currently leading in the polls, military minds worry that 'the blue screen of death' on brand new operating systems may be a literal description, election ballot papers are so long that unused ones are recycled as toilet roll, and Kim Jong-Un has no checks and balances after the upper house was abolished. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. North Korea Choson's national animal is the Korean Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

North Korea Choson is ranked 17,816th in the world and 17th in India for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 7,622.42 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
