The Sovereign Kingdom of Joyonghea (Joyonghean: 조용국 주권 왕국; Joyong-gug Jugwon Wang-guggwa), colloquially known as Joyonghea (조용국; Joyong-gug), is a country in East Asianna. It borders Lorica to the west and north and the the Nanja Republic to the east and south. Its capital is Yeolcheon, and its largest city is Pusan. The country is also a member of the Trans-Peninsular Commonwealth, an international organization including the remnants of its former empire and wields prominent influence. It boasts a population of approximately 82 million.
The Joyonghean Peninsula was inhabited as early as the Late Paleolithic Era. The Buyeong Culture witnessed the first tribes from the 7th to the end of the 3rd millennium BCE. The First Goguryeo Kingdom subsequently existed since the 8th century BCE, and was a tributary state to the Seleucid Empire since the 1st century BCE. The Three Kingdoms was established after the fall of the First Goguryeo Kingdom in the mid-4th century CE, and the Peninsula observed a period of warfare and peace for 400 years. The Goguryeo Empire was established in 715 CE and became the dominant power in Northeast Asianna for three centuries. Internal strife in the early 12th century led to the Five Dynasties Period, which included the Chuyong dynasty, the name of which became the source of the country's contemporary name due to its defense of the Peninsula against the Jurchen Empire. The Five Dynasties gave way for the Goseon dynasty to emerge in the 1500s, and it observed the development of the Hangul script that remains in present-day use, and the colonization of the Gangbaek Archipelago. From contacts from Western nations, the dynasty began using firearms, and Christianity spread as early as the 17th century. The Joyonghean Empire replaced the Goseon dynasty in 1844 to prevent takeover from Europan nations and its nearby rivals which included the Ruzhite Empire and the Holy Trabian Empire. The Empire oversaw modernization of its government, economy, and military under the rule of Emperor Yejo, and it observed itself becoming a regional power in Northeast Asianna and absorbing Outer Jurchenia, the Jejunom Kingdom, and the rest of the Gangbaek Archipelago by the end of the 1860s. The Joyonghean colonization of the Whiteford Islands led the Empire into a 69-year geopolitical rivalry with the Empire of Quenmin, which is historically recognized as the Great Eastern Rivalry. The tensions sparked three direct conflicts, all of which observed the failure of the belligerents to annex each other by the end of the Third Joyonghean-Quenminese War.
The latter half of the 1940s and the early 1950s observed Joyonghea transitioning into a kingdom, rejuvenating its economy to its pre-Jeongsa War state, and bestowed autonomy on Outer Jurchenia and Jejunom. However, Joyonghea's increasing political and economic mismanagement on the Gangbaek Islands since 1952 sparked the Nanja Revolution in 1954, which saw the establishment of the Nanja Republic. From 1955 to 1975, Joyonghea fought against Lorica in the War of Lorican Aggression and prevailed. After the conflict, under the term of Prime Minister Park Young-sik, the country observed fast economic recovery at the cost of a continuing authoritarian dictatorship that existed since 1960. After his assassination in 1979, a military coup in early 1980 evaded the possibility of a return to a military dictatorship, and the country transitioned into a democratic state.
Joyonghea maintains a unitary parliamentary constitutional monarchy under the 1980 constitution with its unicameral legislature, the Sovereign Congress of Joyonghea. The nation is a developed country and is a prominent regional power in Asianna, and a middle power in international politics. Joyonghea currently possesses the third largest economy in Asianna by nominal GDP and the largest in Northeast Asianna. It enjoys one of the fastest Internet connection speeds in Eordis, and densest high-speed railway networks. The armed forces is one of the world's powerful militaries, and is ranked as the second-largest in all of Asianna. Joyonghea is highly regarded for its globally influential pop culture, especially in music, television and film, a phenomenon referred to as the Joyonghean Wave. Apart from the Trans-Peninsular Commonwealth, Joyonghea is a member of the Northeast Asianna Treaty Organization, the Association of Asianna Nations, and the Federal Union Association until its secession in 2016.
