More on Korea
Description from Wikipedia:
Korea (Hangul: 대한민국(Republic of Korea, S.Korea; Similar names:한국) or 북조선(N.Korea) ) is a civilization, formerly unified nation, and geographic area currently composed of two sovereign states located on the Korean Peninsula in East Asia. It borders China to the northwest, and Russia to the northeast, and is separated from Japan to the east by the Korea Strait.
Korea was divided in 1948, with the southern portion of the peninsula controlled by the capitalistic democracy South Korea. South Korea, formally Republic of Korea, is a developed country with memberships in the United Nations, WTO, OECD and G-20 major economies and home to such global brands as Samsung, LG Electronics, and Hyundai.
The northern portion is controlled by the single-party communist North Korea, formally the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. The north follows the unique ideology of Juche, a form of Communism based on self-reliance. Led by Kim-Jong-il, Chairman of the National Defense Commission of North Korea, North Korea has close relations with the People's Republic of China and Russia.
Archaeological and linguistic evidence suggest origin of the Korean people were Altaic language-speaking migrants from south-central Siberia, who populated ancient Korea in successive waves from the Neolithic age to the Bronze Age. The adoption of the Chinese writing system ("Hanja" in Korean) in the 2nd century BC, and Buddhism in the 4th century AD, had profound effects on the Three Kingdoms of Korea. Baekje later passed on a modified version of these cultural advances to Japan.
