The State of Neo-Western East Korea is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Beom Dae with an iron fist, and remarkable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, soft-spoken computers, and flagrant waste-dumping. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 6.185 billion Neo-Western East Koreans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order, Administration, and Education also on the agenda, while International Aid receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Bunker-City of Omiskan. The average income tax rate is 96.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Neo-Western East Korean economy, worth a remarkable 2,772 trillion Cyber Bats a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 448,252 Cyber Bats, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Suppression of pro-democracy protests is a daily occurrence, Beom Dae's luxurious new home has been designated as a protected cultural heritage site, the government is more interested in identifying problems than fixing them, and a small country is wondering where their capitol building's gold dome went. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Neo-Western East Korea's national animal is the Nuclear Combusting Crocodile, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is State Atheism.

Neo-Western East Korea is ranked 5,552nd in the world and 1st in Esvanovia for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 14,502.25 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
