The Takamagahara of Korean Gensokyo is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Moreya with an even hand, and renowned for its public floggings, punitive income tax rates, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, devout population of 1.535 billion Gensokyoans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Suwa-taisha. The average income tax rate is 62.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient local economy, worth 60.9 trillion mons a year, is quite specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Uranium Mining, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 39,658 mons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Cars have been banned, vegetables are crisper thanks to CRISPR, the government says that Possession is nine-tenths of the Lore, and a few people seem to spend their whole time complaining. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Korean Gensokyo's national animal is the Hoo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Shintoism.

Korean Gensokyo is ranked 50,940th in the world and 14th in Eientei Gensokyo for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 4,615.66 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
