The Nanja Republic, formally known as the Democratic People's Republic of Nanja, is a country in East Asianna, constituting the eastern Joyonghean archipelago, including Sandeuk Island and Hyangsan Island and claiming the disputed Myonggan Island with Joyonghea and the Orleans Group of Islands with the Holy Trabian Empire. Joyonghea and Nanja are separated by the Myonggan Strait and the West Joyonghean Sea while the shores separating the two are heavily fortified.
In 1896, the aftermath of the Second Joyonghean-Quenminese War, the Eastern part of Joyonghea, called Paekdusan was annexed as part of the growing Quenminese Empire and the Joyonghea was only left with its own mainland of the Joyonghean Peninsula. After the Quenminese surrender, the Loricans, during which the Communists had taken over decided to liberate Paekdusan while the Lucis Commonwealth continued supporting the Joyonghean Peninsula. By 1947, all foreign troops withdrew from the archipelago and the peninsula. East Joyonghea was renamed to Nanja under the leadership of Communist leader Kim Il-Mung. In 1950, when the War of Lorican Aggression erupted, Joyonghea was surrounded on all sides but was technologically far better, being armed by Commonwealth armaments but it was soon not enough but the delay for the invading forces gave time for the Commonwealth to react. From Quenmin and Zanarkand, Commonwealth forces sailed for Joyonghea and successfully forced the Communist forces back. In 1975, instead of respecting the treaty to end the war, the two nations opted for a ceasefire and the two nations are technically still at war.
The Nanja Republic officially describes itself as a self-reliant socialist state and formally holds elections. Critics regard it as a totalitarian dictatorship. Various media outlets have called it Marxist, particularly noting the elaborate cult of personality around Kim Il-Mung and his family. International organizations have assessed that human rights violations in the Nanja Republic have no parallel in the contemporary world. The Workers' Party of Nanja (WPN), led by a member of the ruling family, holds power in the state and leads the Democratic Front for the Reunification of the Fatherland of which all political officers are required to be members.
Juche, an ideology of national self-reliance, was introduced into the constitution as a "creative application of Marxism" in 1972. The means of production are owned by the state through state-run enterprises and collectivized farms. Most services such as healthcare, education, housing and food production are subsidized or state-funded. From 1994 to 1998, the Nanja Republic suffered a famine that resulted in the deaths of between 240,000 and 420,000 people, and the country continues to struggle with food production. The Nanja Republic follows Songun, or "military-first" policy. The country has at least 7,500,000 troops, including paramilitaries, compared to its Western counterpart of nearly 5,500,000 but with all military amenities being received from Gallia-Bruhl, the United Kingdom, and the Erebonian Empire. Its active duty army of 1.21 million is the seventh largest in the world, after the Autocratic East Europan Imperial Alliance, Quenmin, Aurucolia, Lorica, the United Kingdom and the Erebonian Empire. It possesses nuclear weapons which have been sanction heavily by the Association of Asianna Nations and the Commonwealth of Nations. The Nanja Republic is an atheist state with no official religion and where public religion is discouraged.
