Republic of Yulsan, natively 율산 공화국 - is a democratic country located in the southern part of the Pelia continent.

The Republic of Yulsan was established after the 'Blood War' ended in 1546 AR. Following Anheung's victory in the war between the Human Union and Vampires, Yulsan was founded after the war when other human states, Anlabia and Ledyanoysk, were merged into Anheung under Anheung's leadership.


History

Enlogical.Inc., a biotechnology company in Anlabia, created a genetically modified clone with a dramatically improved physical ability and the ability to use supernatural energy while experimenting with modifying the human genes that he cloned for human cloning research. Enlogical.Inc. believed that the supernatural energy they uses had military and economic value, and produced more clones for more efficient and rapid research.

Meanwhile, An accident at the lab occurred in 1541 AR. According to the military and investigative agencies that took control of the lab after the war, someone at the time accidentally or intentionally turned off the cooling function of the cooling container containing the cloned human, which led the cloned human to break the container and escape.

Instead of being able to improve their physical abilities and use supernatural energy, the cloned human had to be nourished through human blood and had an instinct to get blood by attacking humans. Also, the clone had enough intelligence to break down other cooling containers and release his relatives. According to investigative agencies, massive bloodshed broke out in the lab right after the first clone escaped, and clones took over the lab and killed most of the researchers there.

Approximately 1,000 cloned humans escaped from the lab. Using some of the surviving researchers, they deceived the outside world as if there was nothing wrong with the lab, while simultaneously producing more of their relatives in the lab.

After a month and the number of clones increased to 5,000, they invaded the outside world after killing all the remaining researchers. They were hungry and craved human blood. Eventually, in cities near research centers, most of its residents were killed by sudden cloned human attacks.

In response to the emergency, the Anlabian government declared a state of emergency and tried to dispatch police and troops to subdue the clones. However, the soldiers and police were defeated by the clones' supernatural energy, and the clones preyed on them.

The Anlabian government started calling clones 'vampires' because their habit of drinking blood reminded people of vampires. Meanwhile, vampires began to spread to neighboring countries bordering Anlabia, which led to the invasions of Ledyanoyska and Anheung.

In Ledyanoyska, many areas, including border cities, were devastated by vampire attacks. They tried to respond in their way, but like the Anlabians, they were helpless in the face of the vampires' supernatural energy.

Anheung's response was similar to the other two countries but differed in some details. Anheung evacuated all residents around the vampire-infested area immediately after the first invasion was reported, and the military used long-range artillery combat and drone strikes as its main strategy instead of close combat. This did not do much to weaken the vampires' invasion but ultimately contributed to reducing the damage to Anheung.

In 1542, the vampire attacks escalated into full-scale war. This war is today called the ‘Blood War’.

The war went against the humans. The three countries founded the Human Union and tried to stand up to the vampires' attacks together, but the situation was turned against them. Anlavia lost 60 percent of its land and 30 percent of its population, while Ledyanoyska lost 70 percent of its land and 50 percent of its population.

Anheung also lost 50 percent of its land, but only 3 percent of its population was damaged. This influenced Anheung to take the lead in the war.

In 1544, when the war was intensifying, Anheung's Institute of Defense Science found a way to neutralize the supernatural energy used by vampires. They installed a so-called "Stun bomb" on air bombs, missiles, and shells and used it on vampires, and vampires within the scope of the bombing lost their supernatural energy.

When the Stun bomb began to be put into action, the situation quickly became favorable to humans. Anheung's army began to subdue the vampires with its superior firepower and Stun bombs, and the vampires, which had lost their supernatural energy, began to be pushed out helplessly like humans once did.

In 1545, Anheung recaptured all of its lands, and in 1546, Anheung wiped out all the vampires in Ledyanoyska. Towards the end of 1546, Anheung's army attacked the laboratory of Enlogical.Inc., the birthplace of the vampires, ended the war by killing all the vampires there and killing the 'King,' the leader of the vampires.

The war was over, but the other two countries were in ruins, except for Anheung. Anlabia and Ledyanoyska were already unable to function as states, and eventually, the two nations were absorbed by Anheung.

Anheung, which absorbed Anlabia and Ledyanoyska, declared a new country called the 'Republic of Yulsan' and ordered the army and police to kill all remaining vampires.


Government

The Republic of Yulsan is a presidential republic revolving around a president who is elected by direct election. Cabinet ministers and prime ministers are appointed by the president and need the approval of the National Assembly. The reason why the nomination of a Cabinet requires the approval of the National Assembly is to check the concentration of excessive personnel authority by the administration.

The government of the Republic of Yulsan consists of the executive branch which is led by the president, the National Assembly, and the judiciary. The executive branch, the legislature, and the judiciary have the right and obligation to check each other's authority.

The National Assembly of the Republic of Yulsan consists of 500 members, 250 of whom are elected by proportional representation. As of 1613 AR, Yulsan's National Assembly had more than half of the seats held by the ruling Democratic Action Party.

The judiciary branch of the Republic of Yulsan consists of several district courts, high courts, and the Supreme Court, which is located in the capital. All judges except the chief justice are selected through the process of appointing judges, and one of the officially appointed judges, with the consent of the National Assembly, is appointed as the chief justice.

Military

The Yulsan Armed Forces is a military organization under the command of the president, the minister of defense, and the military commanders. Its duties include defending its national territory, counterterror operations, and carrying out military operations to improve Yulsan's national interests.

Yulsan provides conscription services for healthy adult men and women over the age of 18. As of 1613 AR, Yulsan's active force was 1,123,400, while the reserve force was 3,045,400.

After completing their military service, Yulsan's men and women will join the reserve army for five years after their discharge. The reserve soldiers will undergo military training three days a year during their daily lives. In case of emergency, the reserve soldiers will be mobilized by the president's mobilization order to serve as military troops.

Yulsan is a country that has nuclear weapons and chemical weapons. Yulsan classifies nuclear weapons as strategic weapons and is preparing to use them by using hypersonic missiles, ballistic missiles, and cruise missiles.

Yulsan had bioweapons programs before the Blood War, but it was abandoned after the Blood War ended.

Science and Technology

Yulsan is considered a country with highly advanced technology. The government invests, on average, 10 percent of its annual budget in research and development, and it actively encourages the development of technology in the private sector.

Yulsan relies on room-temperature nuclear fusion for the majority of its energy sector. Room-temperature nuclear fusion technology quickly replaced fossil fuel and nuclear fission power generation upon development, and it has emerged as the biggest pillar of Yulsan's energy sector due to its high energy efficiency, eco-friendliness, and safety advantages. Today, 85 percent of the energy produced by Yulsan is produced by nuclear fusion technology.

Yulsan's power transfer is made through wireless power transfer. In 1586, wireless power transfer completely replaced the conventional wired power transfer when wireless power stations using wireless power transfer technology began to be built. Also, Yulsan uses this technology to install solar power stations in space orbit to generate electricity.

Today, most of Yulsan's medical services are made through Medpod, which is a combination of nanotechnology and cell culture technology. Medpod is a medical device that scans a patient's body, identifies the patient's disease, and uses nanorobots to treat the patient. According to statistics, Medpod accurately identified all patients' diseases and cured 95% of patients in one treatment. The average time required for a single treatment was 3 minutes, and no patients required more than three treatments have been reported so far. Since the advent of Medpod, doctors have focused on research jobs that update Medpod's data or research new diseases, or areas that require humans, such as cosmetic procedures and psychiatrists.

Yulsan is actively using AI in various sectors of society. AI has become an essential element in each sector of the industry, such as general service, manufacturing, finance, and space, and the military is also using AI as important. Most of the AI used in Yulsan is semi-autonomous AI. Semi-autonomous AI is an AI that autonomously judges situations and executes commands according to input commands based on its advanced computing power but still requires humans in the process of entering commands. Currently, Yulsan's semi-autonomous AI has developed to the point where it is considered "to the limit," but there is no strong AI in Yulsan yet. It is analyzed that this is because each company does not intentionally create strong AI to avoid legal issues due to the current law that recognizes beings with egos as people with rights.

The railgun is one of the most common weapons in the military. First introduced to the military as a Navy deck gun in 1554, the railgun is now used in almost every firearm in the military, including infantry firearms, tank guns, and anti-aircraft guns.

The Mass Driver, which is now used as a space launch device in Yulsan, was developed using the military's rail gun technology. Because the Mass Driver can send larger objects into space at a lower cost than rockets, most of Yulsan's satellite and spacecraft launches today are done through the Mass Driver.
