 Article of the Month  - August 2024 Jiesan, officially the Republic of Jiesan (Korean: 제산민국), is a country located in the Korean peninsula sharing its borders with China to the north and North Korea, Isporos, and South Korea to the west. The Sea of Japan to the east seperates Jiesan from Japan. Its capital city is Kilgeo, one of the largest cities in the union and a major political center. Due to a highly mountainous terrain, Jiesan's population mostly resides on the coast and making the country one of the most densly populated regions in the world.

Jiesan is a presidential republic consisting of 6 provinces. Jiesan's history has shared its fate with Korean history when it began with the founding of Gojoseon in 2333 BCE by Dangun. Jiesan was founded in the early 10th Century. It was overthrown by the Goryeo Dynasty shortly after and remained annexed with the Goryeo Dynasty until its fall, after which it became independent once more. After liberation, the republic was established in 1948 as a democracy. After the Korean War, Jiesan's economy grew outstandingly, at a close pace with South Korea's. This rapid economic growth was called "Another Miracle on the Song River".

Jiesan is one of three of the founding members of the League of Nations. (more...)
