Korea, (Korean: 한국, Japanese: 韓国), officially the Republic of Korea, is a nation located in the Korean Peninsula of East Asia on Terra Nostra.
History
Terra Aurora, Post-War
In Terra Aurora, on November 2024, King of Korea, KenDibnah, got banned during the war against Japan and the Chinese region and with the community separation which led to creation of the nation Qing that happened afterwards, the Korean community spiraled into a steep decline. With the nation eventually being sold for 5,000 gold to Japan on 29 April, 2025, the community has practically gone extinct, with original members either leaving EarthMC entirely, or switching to other nations.
Kihwa, who had signed the peace treaty with Japan and the Chinese nations as the representative of the surrendering nation, Korea, tried seeking means of reviving the community by joining the Japanese community, to no avail. Kihwa got the nation returned from Japan a month before the closure of Terra Aurora.
Creation of the Korean Community in Terra Nostra
The creation of the Discord server of Korea on Terra Nostra launch was originally created by the Japanese player, Nemupy, on February, 2026. However, with Nemupy immediately quitting EarthMC afterwards, the server was handed over to the player OhHina, who intended to create the town of Busan in Terra Nostra. He also eventually gave up his intention in playing in Korea, leaving the server handed over to Kihwa.
The community started to form, with old players during Terra Nova and Aurora having decided to join the newly sprouting community. The notable members are:
- Nice_pengguin, ethnical Korean player, who was a Prime Minister of PRK in Terra Nova and Korea on Terra Aurora.
- Sir_Atom, another ethnical Korean player, also known as Atomica, the first king of Korea on Terra Aurora.
- Enigma731, the longest-reigning emperor of Japan in Terra Nova.
- Qorrin, the leader of Shimazu in Terra Nova, and the Prime Minister of Japan in Terra Nova.
Korea began receiving support and recognition from other major groups that planned to make nations in Asia. On April 13, 2026, the Rajin Treaty was signed between Korea, Bokkai, and Japan, establishing an alliance and recognition of each other's borders. Kihwa maintained close ties with Bokkai and Japan, and managed to prevent any other groups from encroaching on Korea.
Terra Nostra Early Access
On April 17, 2026, the Korea launch group, consisting of Kihwa, Qorrin, Tytolis, A_Wet_Cloud, Dieromancea6429, and Mikke_vu, coordinated to establish the first towns in Korea. Qorrin created the town of Seoul in a random place in Europe simply to secure the name. Meanwhile, Kihwa became the first player on the server to step foot on the Korean peninsula in game. The real town of Seoul was then made in its current and realistic spot. By the end of the the first day of the server, the Korea launch group had established 5 towns in Korea:
- Seoul, founded by Kihwa.
- Busan, founded by A_Wet_Cloud.
- Sejong, founded by Mikke_vu.
- Jeju, founded by Qorrin.
- Wonsan, founded by Tytolis.
The town of Pyongyang was also founded by rigSPriNg, but this user was not known to the established launch group.
On April 23, 2026, with the help of the Japan and Bokkai, the nation of Korea was created by Kihwa, with Seoul as its capital. A large celebration between the Rajin Alliance members was held in Seoul to mark the occasion.
Two new towns would also be founded and join Korea during early access: Haenam, founded by GENG1R; and Nampo, founded by Rwedd.
