Seonko (Seonese: 성국 善國, romanised as Seongguk), officially known as the 'Imperial State of Seonko is a large country in Eastern Ochran. With a population of just over forty one million, Seonko is bordered to the north by (-) (-) to the south and by (-) to the west as well as sharing sea borders with Tsurushima. The greater metropolitan area of the capital, Haewon is home to over eleven million of the population of Seonko. The majority of Seonko’s people live in the east where the the country touches the sea. Geographically Seonko is diverse, while most of its territory covered by hilly forest, the northeast is largely flat plains dominated by agriculture and industry. Contrastingly the northwest and much of Seonko’s western border is made up of mountains and valleys, much of this landscape has been untouched for centuries leaving an abundance of flora and fauna. Seonko’s history has been dominated by a series of dynasties. Beginning with Kang in 1306, Gyeon, Seon, Bak, Cho and Do followed after, with the Do dynasty remaining in power to this day. Prior to the Kang unification of 1306, the territories now forming Seonko were a collection of four small warlord administered states. The Kang warlords of the northeastern state eventually conquered the neighbouring kingdoms under the newly formed Kang Dynasty, ruling from Haewon, the present day capital of Seonko. The Kang emperors ushered in a sophisticated and refined culture as well as a strictly adhered to social class division. While Kang united and brought peace to Seonko, the Seon dynasty is today most highly revered and had a lasting impact on Seonese culture, even giving name to the modern nation. The 1920s saw a series of revolts against the emperor who had become despotic and militaristic, culminating in his eventual assassination in 1928. The new emperor, his 30 year old brother was placed in the seat of power instead and throughout the late 1930s to 40s introduced reforms limiting power of the military and eventual limiting his own control and implementing the beginning of Seonko’s first democratically elected body, which would transform by 1953 into a functioning parliament while the monarchy retained a purely symbolic role in governing, although ultimate power theoretically remained with the royal family, subsequent emperors almost never utilised this to its full extent.
