Location


So where exactly is this happening? It's in North Korea of course; a country located on the northern half of the Korean Peninsula.


North Korea is a small, East Asian country that consists of eighty percent mountains and uplands. These landforms crisscross the northern and eastern sections of the country. The highlands of this country are cut through in many places by deep river valleys and canyons. Wide coastal plains located on the southwestern section of the country hold much of the population of North Korea. A Continental Climate marked by the typically long, dry winters and short, wet summers caused by the monsoons dominates this country.


As for the people here, the main ethnicity is Korean, and the country is mainly ethnically homogeneous, with a few scattered people of Japanese or Chinese descent, resulting in the fact that the main and official language is Korean as well. The dominant religon is traditionally Buddhist and Confucianist with few Christian influences.




All in all, this country tends to have little physcial and ethnic diversity. The country's simmilarity is well preserved through it's government's attempts to keep out outside influences, resulting in it's current state today.
