South Korea - New Life, New Experiences, and a New Start

Day 614, 23:01 • Published in Japan France

• by Yonai Keiko

Look around you on this day. What do you see? When I look, I see death, I see destruction. Citizens losing interest in life and allowing themselves to surrender to the Reaper. Entire nations engulfed by foreign nations hungry for power. War is devastating previously happy nations with its horrors. And through all this misery I see the poor citizens trying to navigate through this world, climbing the ladders of power only to be thrown off by their governments. Governments that act more like private clubs, than servants of the people. There are havens of peace in the world, places that the war has not touched yet, but these are few in number, and very rarely does this group of nations gain a new member. So when this rare moment occurs, I feel it necessary to bring news of it to every corner of the eWorld. To all those struggling citizens who wish for a new beginning, where they are not excluded for being new or simply not being part of the 'in-crowd', this news is of great importance.

In the month of August, this very next month, the South Korean Community will decide whether to stay in union with Japan, or liberate Gyeongsangnam-do and begin the path to independence. Three months ago the South Korean government, congress, business leaders, and the overall population voted to give up our sovereignty for Japan's protection until such a time that we felt our nation was ready to come back to the eWorld. The South Korean Community may be small, but we are devoted. South Korea is our nation, and we are determined to ensure its success for all future citizens. The support from our friends in Japan and other nations around the world helps us in a magnitude that is only superseded by one act. This act is the bringing of a new member to our community.

As I said before, our community is a small one, that means that citizens from around the world who wish for that fresh start can find one with us. Rise to the top of the political chain, helping to improve the nation with fresh ideas. Try your hand at business management, in what will be one of the most open free markets in all the eWorld. Organize your fellow citizens in the military and ensure that South Korea will always have a line of defense against those who threaten our sovereignty by military means. Or work as a community leader, defending the nation not just from soldiers and tanks, but from political take-overs and those who seek congressional seats only for the gold. Even if you with simply to be a 'normal' citizen, your opinion will always be valued by others in the nation, and your voice WILL be heard. Can you say that about the large 'powerful' nations of Hungary, Indonesia, and America?

If you truly wish to help South Korea and start yourself a new life with the liberation of Gyeongsangnam-do, simply drop by our forums and get registered. Start helping us organize life with independence, and meet all the leaders and members of our community! Stay in your overpopulated, war-torn nation, or give something new a chance, the choice is yours.

have fun, I wonder how much gold will be wasted on this.

You don't need to bribe me for the vote. 🙂

One thing I never understood. If you wanted protection, wouldnt it have made more sense to pick Iran or Indo? They were pretty much indestructible at the time.

Perhaps eSK didn't trust them to give back the country when the time was right. As for eJapan, I'm happy to see you guys considering going independant again. I think the new citizenship module will help against PTO, so now it's just a matter of whether or not you are ready militarily. Good luck if you decide to seperate again, eJapan will be here for you.

A good article; one that describes what is happening everywhere. South Korea is a chance for all! Make sure you consider it if you have good intentions!

Good luck to South Korea!

Why would you not want independence? it would be the obvious choice to liberate yourselves. North Korea may be out of the picture, but Russia will loom along your borders. Try not to be affiliated the PEACE. North Korea will not be gone forever, we will return as an independant nation as well. The Koreas must remain independent from foreign oppressors, and must reamain strong to each other.
There are resistance fronts already mobalizing. We will continue to fight for North Korea in the post war. We hope that you will help us in our revolution...

@Ryuu

Pretty much the same group who was in control of both countries then are in control now.

South Korea chose to enter a union with Japan as they most closely resembled our form of government, we were already rather good friends with certain members of their community, and they were the only geographically feasible option.

I thank all of you for your support. 🙂

Honestly, I am of the belief that Japan and South Korea will be better off in the long run if we remain united, but I do understand completely the desire to be independent. I look forward to what South Korea decides and I hope wholeheartedly that you make the decision best for all. Whichever path we take, I know that South Korea will always be, in my eyes, treasured friends and I will stand by the protection of them no matter the cost.

As a citizen of eJapan I hope that our government will provide whatever assistance is required to make this transition as smooth as possible. Good luck!

OogieBoogie3 Day 615, 18:10

But Yonai lets be honest, you want independence. The only reason why you merged was because your economy was non-existant after that Hungarian PTO. We tried to reform, but it didn't work out. I think you should re-establish South Korea as an independance nation?

Who agrees with me?

Yonai Keiko Day 615, 19:34

Of course I want South Korea to be an independent state. That was my goal since the beginning, to bring South Korea back to the eWorld when the situation was favorable for our sovereignty. The reason for the union were always the constant PTO attempts, the bugged economy, and our hostile neighbors. Our economy did exist, and it was certainly not hurt by the Hungarian PTO attempt. The Hungarians had the manpower to beat us in the elections so we made the decision to merge while we still could.
