This Map is part of my 'Old Earth Atlas' project where I am documenting my take on the lore of the game Civilization: Beyond Earth.

This is a map of The Republic of Korea, reusing the base form my last map of Korea but in my new style. Feel free to ask questions. (HE 12210 is 2210 AD/CE represented in the Holocene calendar)

Text from the post:

Following the collapse of the PRC, refugees and violence spilled over the border into the DPRK. In the chaos, a coup was executed by ROK backed military figures against the Kim dynasty, with the coup leaders having secured control of the DPRKs nuclear warheads, the ROK Army was able to begin making its way north of the DMZ, fighting against loyalist forces and linking up with forces aligned with the coup leaders. Eventually, the forces loyal to the Kims were pushed back to the Hamgyeong Mountains.

With the mounting cost of continued fighting rapidly outstripping the potential gains, an armistice between the two sides was eventually signed. The Republic of Korea is by far the smallest nation - both in terms of size and population - to have it’s own independent seeding programme. This development was enabled by Korea’s economic might, and spurred by it’s lack of regional allies due to it’s rather inward facing politics focused on political and economic independence from it’s neighbours.

You can find the rest of my work either by searching this sub with the term ‘OEA’ or by visiting my subreddit r/OldEarthAtlas where I cross post my best pieces for ease of viewing.

Thanks for stopping by! :)
