The Democratic Republic of District of Peoples Korea is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 245 million District of Peoples Koreans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 66.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong District of Peoples Korean economy, worth 14.0 trillion Won a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 57,220 Won, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The tax agency is feared more than serial killers and terrorists, nobody looks each other in the eye at neighborhood block parties any more, fur coats have become the latest fashion trend, and graverobbers claim they're acting within the interest of 'scientific preservation'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. District of Peoples Korea's national animal is the Chollima, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

District of Peoples Korea is ranked 71,478th in the world and 733rd in the West Pacific for Most Corrupt Governments, with 24.73 kickbacks per hour.
