South Korea, officially known as the Republic of Korea (ROK), is one of the two nations in the Joint Security Area (JSA) Community. The Republic of Korea is a constitutional democracy, contrasting with the authoritarian form of government in the [[Democratic People's Republic of Korea]], the other nation in the JSA.
 
== In-Game ==
 
As the game focuses on the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) located in the former village of Panmunjom, there aren't any cities to explore. There are, however, several buildings you may explore; on the southern side of the border, these include: the Freedom House (peacetime spawn), the Peace House (used by UN forces), an underground bunker, a National Intelligence Service (NIS) station, and an army base (wartime spawn).
 
== Government and politics ==
 
=== Military ===
{{Main|Republic of Korea Armed Forces}}
 
The South Korean military is known as the Republic of Korea Armed Forces, which is composed of the Republic of Korea Army (ROKA), Navy (ROKN), Air Force (ROKAF), and Marine Corps (ROKMC). The Army Special Warfare Command (ROKA-SWC) is organisationally a subsidiary unit of the Army, but has historically operated independently from the Army General Staff.
 
The [[President of the Republic of Korea]] is the constitutional Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces.
 
Besides the Armed Forces, South Korea has two other major agencies, both organised under the Ministry of the Interior and Safety: The [[National Intelligence Service]] (NIS) is the ROK's primary civilian intelligence agency, and the [[National Police Agency]] (KNPA) is the primary law enforcement agency. However, its ranks are mainly composed of gamepass owners.
=== Politics ===
{{Main|Government of the Republic of Korea}}
 
South Korea's government is separated into the executive, legislative, and judicial branches.
 
Officially, the Republic of Korea is a unitary, highly centralised, semi-presidential republic. The Government of the Republic of Korea is organised under the Constitution of the Republic of Korea and several statutes enacted by the [[National Assembly]], most significantly the Executive Framework Act (N.A. 0300)[https://docs.google.com/document/d/18krBMV4RTWqfA2qoavQL745PngTnXGw-WX9fmR2IG4E/edit?usp=sharing]
 
The President is directly elected by secret ballot and serves as head of state, chief executive, and chair of the State Council, exercising dominant control over the executive branch, including appointment of ministers and command of the armed forces. The Prime Minister, appointed by the President from among members of the National Assembly (under N.A. 0300), serves as head of government and is dually accountable to both the President and the Assembly, which may remove the cabinet by a two-thirds vote of no confidence. South Korea's semi-presidential system is reflected in the fact that the [[Prime Minister]] is the head of government, while the President is the head of state.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://docs.google.com/document/d/18krBMV4RTWqfA2qoavQL745PngTnXGw-WX9fmR2IG4E/edit?usp=sharing |title=Executive Framework Act of 2024 |accessdate=9 November 2026 |author=National Assembly |date=2024-12-28}}</ref>
 
Presidential elections occur every four months, typically through exhaustive ballot or two-round ballot, where a candidate must acquire 50%+1 of the votes in order to win. When an exhaustive ballot is used and no candidate wins the first round, candidates must typically receive a minimum amount of votes to proceed to the next round, or the candidate with the least votes is eliminated, unless one candidate has already won. In a two-round ballot, when no candidate wins the first round, all candidates are eliminated except the two candidates with the most votes. Candidacy is limited to citizens who are not affiliated with the DPRK. Elections are organised by [[community management]].
 
The [[National Assembly]] is the unicameral national legislature of the Republic of Korea. General elections are (usually) held every four months. The National Assembly is elected through proportional representation. The ballot consists of political parties, which receive a number of seats according to their proportion of the vote. Political parties appoint their own Members of the Assembly. Coalitions between parties are often formed, though not always. Historically, the President has usually been affiliated with the largest party in the Assembly, but not necessarily forming a majority. Presently, the National Assembly is composed of twenty seats. The Speaker of the National Assembly is elected by the Assembly according to its standing rules.
 
The Assembly wields significant power and checks over the executive and has effective parliamentary sovereignty.
 
The Supreme Court is vested with the power of judicial review and holds final appellate authority over all judicial bodies. The judiciary further consists of district courts, most notably the District Court of Central Seoul, as well as historically the Court of Appeals.
