Jupon

Jupon (Honju: 朝本), officially the Republic of Jupon (Honju: 朝本民囯; Jupon-Mingukku) is a sovereign state located in western Yeongju, it borders Igu to the west, Sihu to the northwest, and Basanreseri to the east. Jupon is also bordered by Shojin to the southwest.

Jupon's name "朝本; Ju-pon" loosely means "land of the morning's root". It was given this name due to the ancient belief that the Jupon was the first land to ever be touched by the sun's rays. 2 CE, the kingdom of Hai-Jupon (Honju: 韩朝本) was formed, so in order to differentiate present-day Jupon from the ancient kingdom, the prefix "韩; Hai", which means ancient, was added.

Human migration to Jupon occurred an estimated 13 million years ago when homo-erectus nomads came to the continent of Yeongju after migrating from Jeongmi, Fusen, and west Uju. These nomadic tribes mainly settled on and around the coast of the country and constructed small villages.

In the present, Jupon is a technologically advanced and economic powerhouse. It's a notable political power in western Uju, having many economic ties with more powerful countries also located in Yeongju. Jupon is a presidential republic governed by a semi-presidential system which was established in 1946 via the Ksuryong Constitution. Citizens enjoy many civil liberties, though the government closely monitors residents, with public surveillance being widely criticized. Most of Jupon is urbanized with the majority of the country's population living in the capital city of Konggei.
