Originally, the nation of Korea operated under Japan as an autonomous military district, with total control over internal affairs and government structure, but with limited capabilities with foreign relations. The main focus during this period was protecting the area defined under the Raijin Treaty from growing Chinese interest in the area and preventative measures to dissuade players from creating a North Korea. The towns of Jeju, Gyeongju, and Kamigawa (now Taean) saw significant growth during this period, with large scale builds, centralization of power, and town settlements focusing in those regions. On May 1st, the first national elections were held, with prime minister DruiDwastaken_ running unopposed. During his term, Korea was split up into 4 administrative districts and 9 ministerial positions. Ministers often switched out but the categories remained relatively constant. Korea also began initiating foreign relations with nations sharing a common interest, mainly other Japanese autonomous regions and Bokkai and its allies. | Originally, the nation of Korea operated under Japan as an autonomous military district, with total control over internal affairs and government structure, but with limited capabilities with foreign relations.

Meanwhile, Korea had taken on a neutral stance in most foreign policy and already had its hands full limiting both Chinese and Japanese presence on the peninsula, and when the war broke out, Korea had become the front line for new wartime colonial holdings. As a Japanese-controlled region, Korea was used as an early jumping off point for Japan to plant towns in Chinese controlled portions of Jilin and Liaoning. In order to maintain a neutral stance and retain control over the peninsula, Korea held an emergency vote among parliament members and declared independence the same day, successfully preventing colonization by both parties. | Meanwhile, Korea had taken on a neutral stance in most foreign policy and already had its hands full limiting both Chinese and Japanese presence on the peninsula, and when the war broke out, Korea had become the front line for new wartime colonial holdings.

The weeks following the official declaration of independence saw a significant amount of growth and initial activity. At least a dozen towns were settled in these weeks, with the towns of Daejeon, Chongju, Wonsan, and Konohagakure (Daegu) growing particularly fast. Upon independence, Korea also joined the Pan-Asian League as a secondary line of defense independent of both Chinese and Japanese factions. Kamigawa and Jeju continued to expand and project Korean influence, with Korea's 2nd large scale event (the 1st being the nation's creation), taking place in Jeju with at least 30-50 players in attendance. | The weeks following the official declaration of independence saw a significant amount of growth and initial activity.

As the group operated within Pyongyang, they began asking for gold from several towns and government funding under the guise of expanding Pyongyang and establishing new towns for the government of Korea, leveraging the interior ministership to secretly fund the establishment of their own nation. After additional funding from the player CrownOfLech, the group separated and created North Korea, now DPRK, to the offense of many irl Koreans within the nation of Korea and in violation of the Raijin Treaty. Negotiations immediately followed, with Hyerin_ye trying to curb the situation and deny claims of scamming gold out of the Korean government, with talks eventually breaking down. War was officially declared on July 31st, with the North Koreans seeing the most casualties after fighting began, with minimal losses within Korea. | As the group operated within Pyongyang, they began asking for gold from several towns and government funding under the guise of expanding Pyongyang and establishing new towns for the government of Korea, leveraging the interior ministership to secretly fund the establishment of their own nation.

On August 1st, 2026, a rogue faction of Japanese players, calling themselves the United States of Gamelia, that had been expelled from the Japanese nation settled a town in the region above Pyongyang after being rejected by the surrounding nations. Initially, Korea took a hands-off approach, but after continued aggression by the faction and their town being admitted into the DPRK, the President of Korea authorized the execution of hostile measures and the defense of territory between Chongju and Pyongsong. The Gamelians were severely underequipped and high in numbers, so after seeing immediately high casualties, were forced to take a defensive stance, one of them being the establishment of a town just north of Korean defensive positions in an attempt to claim-block Chongju and Pyongsong from expanding north, which later would be rescinded by moderators. Initial backing by the DPRK dwindled after attempts to defend the territory resulted in losses to Korean forces and the USG being forced to expand downwards around Pyongyang. On the 10th of August, the DPRK approached Korea and established a ceasefire, kicking and sanctioning the USG from their nation. With nowhere else to expand and no nation to back them, the USG began to relocate to Siberia along the Reka Uda. | On August 1st, 2026, a rogue faction of Japanese players, calling themselves the United States of Gamelia, that had been expelled from the Japanese nation settled a town in the region above Pyongyang after being rejected by the surrounding nations.

== Constitution == | === Fall of the 1st Republic and the Executive Council (October 3, 2026) === | ||
In late August of 2026, the president and founder of the nation, Kihwa, began to step back from the server and relegated many of the legislative tasks to the prime minister and his cabinet. This bout of inactivity coincided with the 2nd Prime Minister Elections and a general off-season on the server, the consequences of which led to a heavy decrease in people interested in maintaining an active nation. Because of the lack of active players and interest in holding the second election process, the two candidates at the time, Prime Minister Dru1D of Taean and Kouhashi of Jeju, under the guidance of the cabinet and government of Seoul, agreed to suspend the constitution and transition to a council of 8, falling directly under the president and kept the nation running while a more permanent solution was devised. Under the council's leadership, several towns continued to go inactive and fall into the hands of citizens who could not be easily contacted, including the founding town of Busan, which had to be bought back from Chinese actors, and the founding town of Sejong, which was remade under a new mayor. In an attempt to focus on internal growth, the Lotus Union was formed on September 23, 2026, between Narmada and Korea in which foreign policy would be done in tandem while each nation tried to support each other internally, with the final goal of the union moving towards a total federal union. | |||

On October 3rd of 2026, Kihwa officially resigned and transferred ownership of Seoul and the nation to Ru3nling, former cabinet member and resident of Taean as a temporary measure. At this point, several projects in Seoul had been put permanently on hold until the nation's activity situation was solved. Unlike Seoul and many other towns in Korea, however, the town of Jeju continued to see extensive growth and nearly doubled in size by annexing the former town of Yeosu and DPRK-controlled towns of Haenam and Jindo. As a result, the commercial and active center of Korea had slowly shifted towards the south as Seoul saw decline, and with the abdication of the president, this shift became a point of debate in how to handle governing Korea in the future. Initially, it was proposed by the mayor and founder of Jeju, Qorrin, to move the capital to the island until Seoul could be revived, which was backed by several in the council of 8, but due to concerns about a potential total abandonment of Seoul and negligence of the north as a whole, the capital remained in Seoul and owned by Ru3nling, but internally controlled by Qorrin and Dru1d as Co-Leaders of the Executive Transitionary Council of 8. | |||
As of October 17, 2026, the constitution is still suspended and Korea remains at a continued risk of decline. | |||
