Haeseo(Haeseo Special Self-Governing Authority, natively-해서특별자치국) is a self-governing province of Joseon, located in the Levanora Vastness, a transitory region of the world. Its borders Katuffiat Federation with the sea in between to the north.

Haeseo was constructed following the administration's foreign territorial development policy led by Prime Minister Park Jung-Chul in 1963. Unlike Yuldo, which had enforced local indigenous population migration, Haeseo was constructed without inhumane policies or conflicts. Unlike Yuldo, which had several geopolitical obstacles, Haeseo was constructed and developed smoothly and began to function as an important base for Joseon in the Levanora Vastness.

Haeseo was built as Joseon's second offshore autonomous territory and the first base in Levanora Vastness. Based on the diverse biodiversity of the area where Haeseo is located and its rapid economic growth through abundant underground and fish stocks, and these factors, today Haeseo has the wealthiest economic power among Joseon's overseas autonomous territories. It is also the wealthiest of Joseon's regions, with a per capita GDP of Haeseo higher than that of the Joseon mainland.

Haeseo is a key base that plays an important role in Joseon's economy and military, and has an important influence on Joseon's geopolitical policy.

Politics

Haeseo's politics are led by the Self-Governing Authority, which serves as the executive branch, and the Self-Governing Council, which serves as the Congress, and the Haeseo Settlement Supervision Bureau. The governor and the council are elected through direct elections by the residents. The terms of the governor and the council are four years, and unlike the prime minister of Joseon, Haeseo's governor is elected in separate elections, not appointed by the council.

The personnel of the Haeseo Settlement Supervisory Bureau are appointed by the central government of Joseon. Haeseo Settlement Supervisory Bureau has the power to audit the Self-Government Authority and the Self-Government Council, and it has the power to ask the Supreme Court of Joseon to impeach both agencies. Haeseo Settlement Supervisory Bureau acts as a means for the central government of Joseon to effectively enforce policies in Haeseo. However, at the same time, it has been criticized for tarnishing the meaning of local autonomy by excessively shrinking the Self-Government Authority and Self-Government Council.

Military

Haeseo relies on the Joseon Central Government for its military field. The Royal Joseon Armed Forces has dispatched two army corps to Haeseo for its ground defense, while the Navy fleet and the Air Force's Fighter Wings have also been dispatched to Haeseo for sea and air defense.

Foreign Relations
