Jeju (Doomsday Report)

Jeju is the southernmost province of the Korean Union, located along on the island of Jeju in the Korean Straits. The capital of Jeju is. Admitted into the Korean Union on August 5, 1986, it is the 13th province in order of admission to the Korean Union. It is the only second-level administrative unit region to not have only Korean as its official language. Jeju has a naval border with South Jeolla to the north and with Japan to the east and northeast. It's the most open province to the outside world, mostly due to the multicultural population and it's autonomy allowing more extensive trade.

Jeju is the warmest province of Korea. The island is of volcanic origin and is centered around it's highest peak and volcano, Hallasan. The province has a mountainous core and a hilly ring on the coastline. It has some of the most beautiful coastlines in Asia, hence why it has attracted many visitors in the years after 1999.

Prior to WWIII, Jeju was inhabited by a subgroup of Koreans speaking a dialect of Korean. Beforehand, the island was part of Japan along with the rest of Korea. After the second world war, a leftist uprising was beaten down brutally in 1948, with 27.000 people being killed out of a population of 300.000. After the war, Jeju was occupied by Chinese refugees arriving on boats. This lead to a massive famine as the island fell into anarchy and the province fell into chaos. The American Forces of Korea, a band of American soldiers surviving the war, as well as refugees from Japan, invaded the island, contracted by the Korean government, which was too busy dealing with the lawless Chinese border. After bloody battles, during which a large part of the island's population died, the island was settled by the American troopers as well as Chinese and Korean refugees from the north.

The province is involved in progressive politics, being the most open-minded and liberal in Korea. In the present-day, Jeju is the hotspot for trade between Korea and the rest of the world, much to the chagrin of the Korean government. It has also been a hotspot for anti-nationalist groups and Chinese rights activists, which is considered somewhat problematic by the central government in Hanseong, but ignored due to a need for protection against a potentially revaunchist Japan.
