History

Atomic Dynasty (??? 2022-August 2023)

Joseon Coup d'état

The peaceful transfer of power between King Atomic to KenDibnah enacted on September 1, 2023 marks the transition between the Atomic and Ken Dynasties.

Ken Dynasty (September 2023-)

Golden Age of Korean Expansion

The beginning of the Ken Dynasty saw the unprecedented growth of cities all across the peninsula, with King KenDibnah providing subsidies to budding towns, as well as negotiating the transfer of towns under foreign influence to Korean hands. The growing culture and economic prosperity of Korea led to the development of expanded ice road infrastructure, an enthusiastic football community, ambitious construction projects, commercial districts, and much more during this time.

Rising Tensions and Mass Mobilization

The Golden Age at hand became largely overshadowed by concern regarding the influence of Ming, which had begun seeping onto the Korean peninsula. Citizens who took initiative in fending off Ming hunters were recognized by the Korean government, who responded by forming the Righteous Army (의병), a volunteer army with the objective of defending their fellow countrymen from encroachment by foreign hunters and invaders. Many attempts to make peace with Ming ended up in failure, with the majority of Korean grievances becoming lost inside the Ming bureaucratic system. To the Koreans, this meant they needed to get stronger through mobilization and diplomacy.

In attempts at extending an olive branch to the Japanese, King KenDibnah opened dialogue with Japanese Bureaucrats in attempts at drafting a treaty and forming an alliance. Disputes between the two, however, began after constant disagreements on where to draw their colonial borders in Manchuria. Failure to charter a proper treaty by both parties in the negotiations left a sour relationship between Korean and Japanese bureaucrats, which combined with an increasing war support from both Korean and Japanese citizens to create rising tensions which would soon cross a dangerous threshold into war.

Notable Towns

This list is incomplete and details are sparse for towns with little recorded information. Please add to this section if you have any insights on the history of certain towns.

Gyeongju (경주)

Gyeongju (경주) is a town located in the south-eastern region of Korea. Led by Mayor Alex70982. It has a population of 1, and is the site of many ancient ruins.

History

Gyeongju resides on the site of the ruined cities Silla, Pohang, and 284. With an emphasis on cultural heritage and tradition, many of these old buildings have been left in disrepair, and debates on whether or not restoration should occur remains unresolved. In the early weeks of Gyeongju's founding, the settlement struggled through border conflicts with Busan and Changwon, who both at the time belonged to Japanese nations, and wished to extend their influence into Gyeongju's path of expansion, but in due time, Gyeongju was able to expand west to neighbor the Korean town Taegu. As the city expanded, Gyeongju and it's architecture slowly matured and improved, leading to the eventual construction of the Half-Moon Palace.
