About the Republic of Korea

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 article: Republic of Korea Armed Forces

The South Korean military is divided into several branches of service. Presently, the Armed Forces are 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 article: Government of the Republic of Korea

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)[1]

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.

With the Republic of Korean being a Unitary Presidential Republic, it has Presidential elections every 4 months, when an election has 2 candidates, a single vote round will occur in which the candidate with the highest percentage of votes wins, if and election has 3 or more candidates, there are 2 outcomes, either one candidate gains over 50% of the votes which will trigger and auto win for them, or, if this isn't the case, a second round with trigger for the candidates with the highest percentage (-1 person).

Presidential elections are hosted by management (usually RobloxRuler, assisted by Carlos), they are announced in the announcement channel within the 'South Korea' Discord server. Sign-up for the Presidential elections are done in a channel which will be announced when the sign-ups start.

Being a unicameral legislature, it holds General Elections, this ususally happends after around 4 months (sometimes taking longer), during the General Elections, parties must gain votes, a certain amount of seats will be constributed between the running parties (the amount is usually announced). The party with the most votes get the most seats and becomes the majority. The Prime Minister isn't automatically someone from the biggest party, they are usually appointed by the President when winning the elections.
