Lushun, also known as the Lushun Special Economic Region (Lushun Keizai Tokubetsu-ku) is a devolved territory of the State of Neo-Korea, designed to act as a means of allowing for greater trade in the aftermath of the Invasion of Jungg'o. Lushun was directly established by Neo-Korea during the course of the conflict, designed to act initially as one of the Bunri-Cities before lobbying from the Rightist section of the National Development Party resulted in its reconsidering as a separate territory to attempt to restore the fractured economic relations which had occurred in the aftermath of the Invasion.
Severe income inequality exists within the state, owing to poor worker's rights policies as a part of the corporate-dominated policies enacted by the Right of the National Development Party within the region. Industrial issues are a key and reoccurring issue in the area, with severe negative effects on the health of individuals in the region. Despite this, the state has a large amount of rich individuals within it, and the highest amount of skyscrapers in any city within Neo-Korea.
Etymology
Lushun is named for the Lushun River, a minor river going through the Northern Region of what was once Jungg'o before terminating at a point near the city. Lushun has been used as a shorthand for the region since the early 1800's by later members of the Marquesan Population in Colonial Hiakemiria who established settlement in the area. These settlements would be destroyed by the Kaesong State, but the name would linger until Neo-Korea began preparations to utilize the region as a Bunri-City.
History
Pre-Invasion
Lushun would see limited settlement as a point of trade by members of the Marquesan Population in Colonial Hiakemiria, but said settlements would be destroyed by the Kaesong State. The area would go generally uninhabited after this point, excluding limited establishment of fishing villages on the coastal portion of the Peninsula. This lack of general inhabitation can be traced to the scarcity of direct resources in the immediate area of the region - necessitating imports and other means of large scale material transport to make the region of value.
