The peace treaty ending the Korean War of 1950-1953
was finally signed in 2016. Final reunification of Korea
took place on 15 August 2025, on the anniversary of independence
from [[Japan]]. For decades afterward, Korea struggled
to integrate a northern half, with a history of brutal
Communist dictatorship and grinding poverty, and a southern
half, with a history of capitalist prosperity. In 2100,
heroic effort and superb statesmanship have attained
considerable success.

For many years, Korea was the only major Pacific
Rim Alliance state with a potentially hostile land border (in
this case with [[China]]). As a result, the Korean army is larger
in proportion than that of any other PRA member. Koreans
are acutely conscious and very proud of their role as
bulwark of the Alliance. Korean national consciousness is
very strong; many Koreans feel that they are the natural
future leaders of the Pacific Rim, destined over the next
few generations to eclipse the “decadent” Japanese and
“barbarian” Chinese.

Korea lags in technology behind [[Fifth Wave]] nations
such as Japan, but it has fully assimilated into the [[Fourth Wave]] economy and is catching up rapidly. Some sectors
are already at the Fifth Wave level, notably the local cybershell
industry (which exports much of its product to
Japan). [[Bioroids]] are not particularly common in Korea, but
Korean genetic research is quite advanced, and the country
produces many cutting-edge species designs. Korean scientists
have also become known for delving into the more
exotic realms of physics, experimenting with areas like
gravity manipulation and the properties of degenerate matter.
Most analysts expect Korea to reach the “leading edge”
of technological and industrial development within another
20 years.
