THE KOKURYUTESHI EMPIRE

睡眠獣

NORTH KOREA

Pyongyang: North Korea is the forefront nation for Kokuryuteshi's military conquest within eastern and northern Asia. Due to the size of both north and south Korea combined, the Kokuryuteshi were capable of keeping the two nations completely separate - warping North Korea into that of one giant military bunker, the storage of not only weapons, but garrisons of troops all accommodated with special built architecture by the Exigent Discoveries corporation. Below is a list of all their resources, weapons and equipment available for deployment within the military based state. North Korea has a bunch of not only barracks and military encampments, but different outposts all throughout the company. This includes such things as "aether farms", farms utilized by the K-world Military to not only energize their buildings and weapons, but even draw as an energy source for high ranking individuals.

Aside from all this, the architecture of North Korea has seemingly been designed in such a way that it accommodates all military personnel. It houses not only barracks and weapons caches, but also personal housing for many people. The southern quadrant, closer to the South Korean border, is found to typically be littered with mountain ranges, among the mountains is where Kokuryuteshi's housing and architecture has been built. There are not only buildings designed into the sides of mountains and atop of them, but also inside them. The Korean architectural plan focuses heavily on accommodating the mountain ranges into their homes. This is usually done by Exigent literally drilling into mountain ranges and stabilizing by rebuilding and structuring braces all around the inside, holding not only the top of the mountain up, but removing a possibility of collapse. For this reason there are usually one, two or three main entrances to the mountain range homes and bases - depending where you are. There are a few major mountain ranges which serves as bases and housing complexes, the important ones are listed below.

Iustitia Weapons Facility: This is the primary weapons facility in North Korea. The building itself is pure white in colour and extends kilometers into the sky, parting the clouds itself. The extended pillar is about a hundred meters thick and has two methods of getting to the top: one is the small ten person elevator that exists in the south west quadrant of the building. The second method is the giant gravitational field which seemingly "launches" whatever item, weapon or device into space. Officially, this is only a small portion of the facility where as the main section focuses on not only production of weapons from the defensive sector of Unitech, but personal devices for all combatants. The entire facility spans over three miles, the space elevator taking over five hundred meters of said room.

Space Elevator Liberatoris: As briefly mentioned, Space Elevator Liberatoris is the giant portion of the Iustitia Weapons Facility that has the capability of launching objects, weapons and even people into space. This space elevator exists for a few reasons - the most important and perhaps deadly is being able to launch both defensive and offensive countermeasures against an opponent. Depending on what the weapons designed are capable of, there can be a variety of different uses for this space elevator. By giving a specifically designed weapon enough air time to actually launch an attack over a large location - one might imagine the following result could be quite destructive. Although in the same sense that the weapon may destroy a location, counter measures designed by Unitech can be deployed in the same manner. For this reason, they have designed a bunch of different weapons and defensive tech to try and hold their regions from invaders.

Internum Montis: One of the main attractions of North Korean architecture is their capability of building industries and different cities within the middle of mountains. Internum Montis is one of the major cities dug into the now empty Mount Paektu, the former volcano having erupted a long time ago. By not only accomidating large parts of their populace into housing within and on the sides of these mountains, they can access a variety of different resources by mining into areas where the volcano was one active. One of the most impressive feats of Internum Montis is the long, around ten kilometers and continuing, into the crust, making use of the resources that North Korea has kept hidden away for many years. The city itself, situated within the direct middle of the mountain, is mostly dark and accommodating to the lack of natural light, consistent artificial light shining throughout the entire city. Many of Kokuryuteshi's workers, or simply people who have been indoctrinated, live within this city. Miners are the most common type of workers within this city.

The Kokuryuteshi had succeeded in making this mountain city by careful placement of structural support on the areas in which they drilled. Using metals typically only found within K-world, the Kokuryuteshi were capable of drilling into the side of the mountain, pulling the large drills out and constructing a support frame before drilling even further. Where everyone looks, they would mostly see a metal frame coating the once Earth roof, the only direct sunlight poring in from the three main entrances. Although mostly an industrial focused city, Internum Montis has proven to be a rather interesting location for those who dare to visit any of the Kokuryuteshi's settlements. Although mostly a city, atop of the mountain is a regrown and overflow of green and life brought back to the lack that once was bland and white. The lake itself is still considered the North and South Koreans "spiritual home".

Available Equipment: URE Realm Link - The Kokuryuteshi within North Korea have been allowed a connection directly to that of the Ure Realm. The URE realm is what the Kokuryuteshi use, with it's large amounts of URE energy, to power the likes of North Korea.

The Kuro Sōsu Link - Placed under majority of their major cities, the Kuro Sosu exists to give their fighters a "home field advantage" type spiritual buff should an opponent try and fight them on home turf. Within North Korea, this is typically under Pyongyang, housing their weapons facility.

VOID Series Link - Within North Korea, the VOID series focuses primarily on enforcing law and order. Not only are there specific ones that patrol North Korea itself, but the house three 0-5 tier VOID's within their various warehouses. These act as deterrents for any foe who enters, alongside any other defense mechanisms in place. There are five 1-5 Tier models atop of this.

SOUTH KOREA

South Korea: Unlike their North Korean counter parts, which are mostly focused on industrialization and military prowess, South Korea keeps Korean names for their cities, towns and locations throughout. Unlike their northern brothers, South Korea has kept a lot of it's "unique vibe". This means that a lot of their architecture is designed to keep places like Seoul a vibrant and condensed city, a pure white city with major influence and emphasis on technology. If one were to look around South Korea, they would mostly see large cities spread out mostly along the coastlines. Since coming under Kokuryuteshi control, a lot of their normally considered "sacred" locations have been warped into habitable locations for civilians and allies to visit. The most unique part about South Korea life style is their emphasis on mountaneous living when outside of the major cities. Unlike most North Korean regions, Kokuryuteshi had not changed or warped the landscapes and natural mountains even within areas they wanted to wipe and build cities upon. Instead, they incorporated the mountains and their unique structures into every day life.

City of Seoul: The city of Seoul has seem some rather drastic changes and expansion in overall size since the Kokuryuteshi took command of the country. The city itself is mostly entirely painted in a pure white coating, many people dubbing it the "city of glass" for it's pure aesthetic. With a focus on accommodating civilians and visitors, Seoul serves as the crown jewel of Kokuryuteshi in the Asian region. The city represents what they strive for within Earth, control and tight regulation in which those within can live free of doubt or fear. Given the current worlds status, a lot of the civilians are unaware of a lot of outside issues - as if to not break the illusion of peace and harmony. At first, a lot of the civilians were indoctrinated into Kokuryuteshi lifestyle if they proved resistance, but generations had passed by and they need not continue that practise. Generations went by, and people seemingly accepted their placement within Seoul.

For the most part, Unitech, a giant technology based conglomerate, utilize the functions and location of the city in completing projects. Large portions of the city itself are entirely dedicated to employees under the banner of Unitech and Kokuryuteshi, not only designing and building a wide variety of different technology for Unitech, but Kokuryuteshi as a whole. While their influence in North Korea is mainly focused on military might and production, including that of battle ships and other war equipment, South Korea focuses on the bio and nano technology associated with human bodies and how science effects every day life.

Busan: Busan is considered one of the main cities within South Korea, and also the "border" between the URE Realm and those within the Kokuryuteshi. Busan, unlike it's current form, has been remodeled to fit around a massive crater in the Earth - the crater itself typically sealed off from civilians and those whom would wander. At the deepest pits, the URE Realm link is found, a constantly emitting world of pure energy that is not only connected to the city of Busan as a whole, but the entirety of North and South Korea. The URE Realm is held open by two large generator style machines which were designed and created by Kin himself to keep a constant state of connection and access to the URE Realm. With the entrance to the realm covered by a sheet of thick steel, the city of Busan is capable of siphoning direct URE Energy from this realm and applying it through a massive grid to the entire countries of North and South Korea.

Seoraksan: Seoraksan, once considered the second largest mountain region within South Korea, has been warped drastically from it's original appearance. While still considered the second largest mountain region in South Korea, the Kokuryuteshi have been able to incorporate not only buildings and towns, but entire cities into the sides and atop of mountains. Unlike North Korea, which literally drill into the center of a mountain for both industrial and defensive reasons, South Korea's architecture is much more elegant and free in appearance. Seoraksan focuses heavily on keeping plants alive, a large dome being built around a body of water which leads into a waterfall, a giant tree situated in the middle. Seoraksan is mainly used as a scientific exploration zone. This city, while very controlled and under the steel grasp of Kokuryuteshi, is used to first test and bring scientific experiment to life. This means that a lot of different human test subjects will be brought into the various laboratories all around the mountain sides.

If one were to enter Seoraksan, the first thing they would notice is it's purity. The city is almost sparkling clean, as if nobody had even set foot in there. Although the city is a scientific experimental zone, a lot of South Koreans have been living her under the grasp of Kokuryuteshi to simply escape the normal city life. The clouds that rest just below the top of the cities are often incorporated into the design. Below is a rather large lake, the largest lake in all of Korea, where the main waterfall empties into. Outside of the most populated areas, houses and buildings are built up onto large pathways carved in the side of mountains, many observatories and such located here.

Available Equipment: URE Realm Link - Similar to North Korea, South Korea have a direct access to the URE Realm which powers all of their cities and locations. At a whim, the towers powering it can be turned off and the connection to the realm closed. If closed for too long, both countries will run out of power after two weeks.

The Kuro Sōsu Link - The Kuro Sosu exists, primarily, underneath the likes of Seoul. Spanning more than the entirety of the city, the mass of computers and technology acts in the exact same way to the one in Pyongyang. The Kuro sosu is powered by the URE realm like the rest of Korea.

VOID Series Link - Unlike North Korea, South Korea only maintains a single 0-5 styled VOID Series. To combat this difference, South Korea has within all major cities at least five 1-3 tiered VOID's.
