Daeseong, (Pronounced / 'dé sɒ́ŋ / DAY-song) officially the Nationalist Federation of Daeseong ( :대성연방; Romanization: Daeseong Yeonbang; : Persatuan Suku),  colloquially referred to as the Federation, is a  in South East Asia comprising the entirety of the two Dae landmasses, the   of Badang. With sovereignty over 2,500,000 km² of territory, and a population of over 1.4 billion, Daeseong is one of the most populous nations in the world, and one of the largest by territory. It is one of the most ethnically diverse nations in the region with a and  populace. The nation’s geography and climate are largely and  with mainland Daeseong being home to the region's largest jungle, the Diyu, also the name of the region's longest river, more than 600 small islands.

For at least thirty-thousand years before its colonization by Sinjuese colonial powers, the Daeseong landmass and tributary islands were inhabited by peoples during the. These small Kingdoms were often divided by geographic differences, and over were spoken by these early people in spite of inherent cultural similarities. Emperor Raharjo the Great united the Kingdoms into one vast pan-Dae Empire, and his successors, Sriwidadi, would invite Korean scholars and civil servants to the kingdom, ushering a golden age of discovery and science. After its discovery in the 18th century by Jeongmi, however, Daeseong soon found itself being colonized by Sinju powers. In 1712, Jeongmi asserted its dominance over the continent, seizing control of the nation through clever diplomacy and.

Daeseong openly adheres to ideology, though liberalization has reversed some of these statist trends. Brutal police crackdowns against pro-democracy protests, widespread censorship, and tight government control of Internet, however, have led foreign commentators to accuse Daeseong of being a. The treatment of opposition to Daeseong's fascist government has been cited as being ruthless, unusually authoritarian, and diplomatically belligerent, though these traits have since receded upon the rise of Mahapatih Maleeha Tekang. , especially in the wake of and alleged  against the Mambai minority is a sensitive issue.

Daeseong is a global leader in, , , , and. It has the world's largest economy by, with vast natural resources, rising consumer markets, and high-worker productivity. While classified as a, Daeseong's information technology sector has seen a dramatic rise, with Dae electronics overtaking their more expensive Sinjuese alternatives. Daeseong continues to be a leading manufacturer, as manufacturing firms take advantage of cheap labour in more impoverished regions. Ultimately, Daeseong is, however, still a largely. Daesong is considered to be a, and is classified as the easiest nation to s in the world with liberalization policies aimed at attracting since 1980.

Etymology
The current Federation of Daeseong traces its namesake back to the Rajanate of Daisungah, a powerful Javanese Empire that managed to conquer and hold a majority of current-day Daeseong before the arrival of Jeongmian colonial forces. In 1699, explorer and nobleman Park Sung-Min wrote a letter to the French court, detailing his exploits and findings during his perilous trek through the Diyu jungle. After concluding his report and promising further reports of discoveries to come, he proposed that the continent be named “Dae-sung,” a of  Dai-Sungah, the name of a medieval  kingdom that had ruled a vast territory before. The Emperor agreed, and the nation was marked in the royal records as "Dai-sung"

The nation's short form name, The Federation, is also standard, and this name is often used more commonly than the name Daeseong itself. This name is commonly used by foreigners and is almost universally understood to refer to the Federation of Daeseong. This name is derived from the ; namely, a union of partially self-governing states or regions under jurisdiction of a greater central government. The Federation has come to represent Daeseong's unique form of governance, however, and speaks to its prided diversity, participatory democracy, and tolerance of various ideologies and belief systems. This title is little more than a title, however, as the Federation's government is unusually centralized,, and.

History
During the age, the current Daeseong landmass was occupied by the  who arrived in the landmass roughly thirty-thousand years ago. It is still quite unknown how these initial populations immigrated to the continent, but many historians speculate that they used broad soft-wood canoes to explore the islands and eventually set up small Kingdoms in the jungle groves. The indigenous Daisungah established small and  societies. Maritime trade and sailing became the staples of life for most early Daisungah peoples. Occasional trends would cause savage infighting between Kingdoms due to resource instability.

Early contact with Hindu civilizations drew resulted in Daeseong adopting a deeply Hindu-influenced culture.

Classical and Medieval History 1200-1600
The Daisungah established a sophisticated military society, with elements bordering on but not quite akin to modern concepts of feudalism. A warrior caste known as who upheld order and waged war upon rival kingdoms in exchange for grants of fertile soil and control of key trade and harbor locations. These Kshatriyas largely maintained small retinues of largely armed with  which doubled as agricultural tools. Peasants were responsible for tending to large plantations of cash-crops to support the early trade economy and extracting gold from mines. A special merchant class emerged from the vibrant trade culture of early Daisungah society known as the who managed trade. Most early Daisungah Kingdoms were in nature.

In 1400, the of the Kingdom of Dai Sungah Raharjo the Great abolished this system and instead cultivated a sizable professional army trained in, the  and the. Through superior manpower and military cunning, Raharjo managed to conquer a vast portion of the Dae continent singlehandedly, founding the Kerajaan Emas, or Golden Kingdom upon the conquest of his final rivals. Despite of the initial instability caused by his sudden conquests, Raharjo's rule ushered in a golden age. He introduced a, common currency, a network of roads and protected shipping lanes, and a new.

In 1600, Purwodarminto invited Jeongmian scholars and philosophers to help establish a new  and cultivate a new generation of scientists and intellectuals. Opting for a merit based system, Purwodarminto transformed the Kerajaan Emas into a vibrant, sophisticated empire with a robust civil society, stable social order, and intricate economic system. He supplanted the Raharjo script with the and embarked on a mass  of the Daisungah kingdoms, officially adopting the name "Daeseong" for his Empire based on an earlier kingdom Daisungah. After Purwodarminto's death, his sons would maintain the unity of the Empire until the arrival of the Jeongmians.

Colonization 1700-1940
The arrival of Jeognmian explorer, Park Sungmin, in 1697 marked a sudden and violent change in the local power dynamic, beginning a massive wave of Jeongmian migration. Impressed by foreign’ gunpowder weaponry, advanced metalworking processes, and other trade goods, certain nationalities, such as, focused on establishing trade and friendly relations with the Jeognmians, whom they saw as potentially advantageous strategic partners and allies against the Empire. This allowed the Jeongmians to establish a strong colonial presence on the continent, undermining the strength of the Dainsugah who attempted, unsuccessfully, to drive them out.

As time passed, Jeongmi's rivals, Meisaan and Akitsukuni sought to expand into the continent, driven by rumors of vast troves of gold and rumors of a hidden, a , and a in the Diyu Jungles. While these didn’t exist, naturally, it was found that Daeseong was rich in fertile soil in which to grow rice and cotton, mountains full of precious ores and minerals, and forests with firm, workable timber which quickly made it one of Jeongmi's more productive colonial possessions.

The Jeongmians established a network of rich, financial successful ports and trading docks along the northern coasts with huge cities propped up by waves of immigration induced by promises of self-government, low taxes, and financial support. They took advantage of the rich soils of the subtropical grasslands or the jungles through, setting up huge focused on exporting , , and  by  the. Some Jeongmian officials were content with leaving the indigenous Daisungah alone in return for trade rights. In the south, native peoples still controlled a majority of the continent, prepared to defend it fiercely from foreign incursion.

Tensions eventually culminated in a series of colonial clashes which resulted in the undeclared Colonial War of 1821 after the executions of Jeongmian colonial scouts by Daisungah natives. Initially, a coalition of Native troops were able to inflict horrendous losses on the Jeongmians; overwhelming Acronian resources and military might, however, resulted in the occupation of the colonial settlements. As a result of the 1822 Treaty of Lionsgate, all Daisungah territories were forcibly surrendered to the Jeognmian Empire, establishing a greater hegemony over all of Daeseong and establishing the entirety of Daeseong as Jeongmian territory for centuries.

Independence 1940-1944
Political elites, college youth, business owners, and local farmers quietly began to question the validity of Jeognmian colonial rule. A small liberation movement known as the Polo Club began in earnest but failed to gain widespread popularity. This changed in August 1842, however, when a succession crisis resulted in Prince Sidabungke I of Java-Nusantara being exiled. Sidabungke, picking up on seditious sentiment upon his exile, framed himself as a potential leader for such an independence movement, leveraging his personal charisma to give the movement widespread popular appeal and making it a movement for liberal ideals such as and the establishment of a republic.

Sidabungke was jailed, sparking public outrage. Tensions reached a critical mass, and the nation erupted in, , and which quickly devolved into street violence and open shooting. Loyalist police forces were quickly overwhelemed. Generals Winand Mailuhu and Pahlawan Yusheng led various militia forces against the Jeognmian Colonial command. By 1844, Jeongmi was forced to release Sidabungke and loosen its weak grip on the distant, large Daeseong colonial holding. Daeseong became independent on the Second of February, 1844 as the Empire of Daeseong, with Sidabungke as its newly crowned Emperor, thus formally restoring the Empire of Daisungah.

The Empire of Daeseong 1944-1960
The early federation was plagued by a multitude of problems from the onset. The nation as a whole was scarcely industrialized, despite being rich in natural resources and farmland, and many coastal merchants had relied on the might of the Jeongmian royal navy to protect their shipping and trade interests. Additionally, Daeseong lacked infrastructure and a standing army or navy. Some historians also speculate that Jeongmi actively attempted to sabotage Daeseong interests in an attempt to later reclaim the colony. Regardless, Daeseong had a plethora of natural resources, entrepreneurial spirit, and many willing Meisaani and Akitsukuni investors.

Representatives from each Dae nation met to discuss the future of the nation with the newly crowned Emperor Sidabungke in the new capital of Rantjarmalang, beginning a four week debate which culminated in the writing, ratification and adoption of a new constitution to ensure the rights of each nation, make amendments for the creation and inclusion of new states, and to discuss the political rights and processes of the new nation; this constitution has remained largely unchanged and the nation's politics still operate in a similar manner. Sebastien appointed himself with limited powers, and spent the majority of his political career writing treatises and pushing liberal reform before being forced to abdicate when it was unveiled that he was a closet homosexual.

Soon after the death of Emperor Sidabungke, his daughter Limijanti took power as Empress.

Decline of the Republic and Establishment of Fascism 1960-1980
Eventually, two major parties, the Dae Republican and Dae Liberal Democratic parties, reached political stagnation. They were unable to pass legislation due to deliberate obstructionism, and were laced with widespread corruption. The Economy began to suffer, and most Dae citizens sought a third alternative. The Communist Party sought to capitalize on this discontent, but it was all-but exterminated in a number of police purges in the capital and subsequently out-lawed.

After its rise to power in the 1950s under Wahyu Indradjaja, the Daeseong Sunrise Party, a new coalition between social conservatives, economic radicals, and fascist groups, initially attempted to drive Daeseong to great ideological extremes, with the implementation of new  as an alternative to conventional capitalist or socialist economic policies. They ran on the ideals of, or an ideal of the rebirth of the Dae peoples under a new united banner of progress. Promising a rebirth and alternative to the democratic system, which most citizens regarded as decaying and corrupt, the party won an easy majority in the parliament and implemented a series of laws that cemented the party's perpetual rule.

For several decades Indradjaja ruled Daeseong harshly by inciting a, and establishing a around himself. He established Daeseong as a and regularly sent fanatics abroad to assist in revolutionary fascist military efforts abroad. He was a fanatic believer in the virtues of, and believed that military force was the only alternative, gearing the entirety of Dae society towards the military and the ideals of a total and ultimate military triumph over the forces of democracy and establish a united,. He also attempt to use to breed a race of ultimate Dae citizens.

Liberalization and Openness Under the Nationalist Party 1983-1994
When Indradjaja died in 1983, however, more moderate factions of the party managed to thrust Ithamar Pangaribuan into power. Pangaribuan, who had been educated in Jeongmi, believed that the radical actions of his predecessor had left to economic catastrophe, and sought to reform the economic system. He passed numerous reforms liberalizing the economy and loosening economic controls while reducing the power of the hard-liner faction through building political inter-party factional alliances. He expanded the education system, cut almost all superfluous economic controls, and promised party advancements to those young party members who achieved the fastest growth rates in their respective jursdictions, reducing corruption, stimulating growth, and establishing the precedent for rapid growth.

Protests eventually broke out in 1992, with the rising middle class taking to the streets in all of Daeseong's major cities, demanding democracy. After a brutal military retaliation, Pangaribuan began to invite college graduates, especially those who showed interests in political activism and political acumen, to join the party as ranking members and officials. He also made sure to include the new rising entrepreneur class in the political process by passing legislation that protected many of their businesses and gave them channels of political activity. This new policy of inclusiveness, especially of the new rising middle class, ensured the long-term dominance of the Nationalist party by removing all potential opponents and putting them within party ranks, giving them party titles, and allowing them to help govern the nation.

Pangaribuan voluntarily resigned on April 2nd, 1994, giving the reigns of power to his successor, Maleeha Tekang, the head of the women's faction of the nationalist faction, who proceeded to carry forth with her predecessor's policy of liberalization and openness.

Geography, Wildlife, and Climate
Daeseong is located in the, largely covered in dense (also known as jungles) and is one of the region's only. Daeseong has rich biodiversity, with many species that are native to Daeseong alone. The south is covered by a vast desert while the central portion is host to and low-lying mountains, while the north hosts the rich   of the Diyu river. Dense groves of jungles cover vast swathes of land, though much of this jungle has been cleared for agriculture and other purposes. Flatlands and plains, especially in zones are conducive to farming, and the forests are subject to  agriculture or the creation of  by the destitute.

Daeseong covers over five million square kilometers in territory, much of which contains rich deposits of natural resources. The southern plateaus have massive coal deposits and the mountains can be mined for, , , , , , and even. Other precious metals and minerals are located throughout the Daeseong continental landmass. Additionally, Daeseong holds massive reserves and has  reserves offshore that can be accessed through. Central flatlands and hills make suitable farming and plantation land. The southern deserts are rich in deposits.

Daeseong is also home to a large portion of the region's as a result of the clear, shallow coastal sutropic and tropical coastal waters near Daeseong's many tributary islands. Many caves are host to these rich biodiverse communities as well. The Dae reefs are believed to be home to over 25% of the region's ocean species, despite comprising less than 0.01% of the entire ocean mass.

Climate
One can split Daeseong into three major climatic groups; the northern delta plains and jungles, which share a, the central mountain and hill regions which generally fall under the , and southern desert regions, which experience a .Somewhat near the equator, Daeseong in in both the and  climate zones. Temperatures average 50 °C in the southern desert regions of the nation while the northern plains and jungles tend to experience average temperatures of 28 °C. Because of Daeseong's location, its days only differ by an average of an hour throughout the year, permitting many parts of the nation to conduct year-round agriculture. Northern Daeseong is exceptionally humid, experiencing large amounts of with the extreme south is  to.

Other efforts to protect the endangered species of Daeseong have included, forcible implementation of and. Steps to minimize the effects of and  have been implemented, regulating the usage of pesticides in critical areas.

Daeseong benefits greatly from and the economic costs of destroying or otherwise damaging the nation's natural resources have been deemed as too high to permit their exploitation for commercial purposes. The nation's political elite are bound by the nation's conservationist population, donations from substantial environmental organizations in Asia and domestically, and the military, which hopes to find some military or strategic application from the diversity of Daeseong's wildlife. Dae is home to species such as the {{wp|Komodo dragon|Dae Dragon}, the , the , the and the , all of which are of great interest to wildlife aficionados.

Demographics
With 1,422,632,732 citizens and residents, Daeseong is the most populous nation in the world. Its population grew by 16.4% in the last decade. Daeseong has a male-to-female ration of 104 females to 100 males, indicating a slight but non-serious imbalance in the male to female ratio. With breakthrough advances in, , and government incentives to raise large families in the 1990s, Daeseong's population, has seen a remarkable population boom in the last three decades, with 17% of its population below the age of 14.

There are 4.8 physicians per 1,000 people. 99.7% of Dae are literate, and 64% are connected to the internet. Roughly 50% of Daeseong's populace is still rural, however, though most of these rural dwellers have access to a nearby city with proper medical and market infrastructure. With a population density of 38 and greater capacity for a larger population, the Federal government has established many programs to encourage women to have more children including ad campaigns,, and tax cuts for having more children. These initiatives are hoped to see the child per family ratio rise to 3.

Ethnicity and Language


Daeseong is a very diverse and nation, ethnically. Daeseong is home to at least 350 individual ethnic groups, though many are vastly underrepresented in comparison to the major ethnic groups. The most dominant Ethnic groups, comprise about half of the population. comprise another quarter, while smaller minorities such as, , , and constitute about another 19% of the population. A minority of also exists, but considers itself a distinct minority and has been subject to.

Over thirty languages are recognized by the Dae Federal government but everybody must be proficient in. In certain parts of Daeseong, local languages are taught in schools and used in government infrastructure along-side Daisungah. Daisungah is the dominant language of politics, education, business, and military service in the federation, and is taught in all public schools. Despite this, there are small communities in rural Daeseong that have managed to avoid learning Daisungah due to isolation and lack of funding, but small government teams have been sent to assimilate these small populations. is regarded as a useful trade language and has been adopted, to varying degrees of capability, by business and political leaders, making Korean a language of the oligarchical elite.

Religion
Daeseong is also quite diverse religiously, but is dominated by the worship of. Kebatinan is the most widely practiced faith in Daeseong, at 92.2%, or a over 90% of the population. There is also a sizable Sufi Islamic minority at almost 5% of the population. Abrahammic religions, such as and  are growing increasingly popular as recent religious revivals have seen mass converts among teenage and college-age populations returning to churches and mosques.

is the second most practiced religion in Daeseong, practiced by 5% of Dae. Most Dae Muslims adhere to the movement, reconciling Islam with modern nationalism, democratic values, and secular governance. These Muslims largely reject ideals espouse by radical Islam, including jihad as a motivation for terrorism, and strict sharia law. Daeseong's brand of Islam stands in nearly complete contrast to.

Healthcare and Health
in Daeseong is with the state covering the entirety of the costs of procedures deemed to be "necessary" for the health of the patient, and further subsidizing many treatments not considered to be "unnecessary." Non-medical surgeries, such as and non-medical  are, however, not covered. Daeseong has some of the most advanced medical institutions in the region, with the government matching wages in Sinju for medical personnel abroad in the hopes of attracting medical talent from abroad.

The government has passed vast nutrition and exercise initiatives, especially among the youth, as  measures within schools and public universities. These initiatives often ignore the economic conditions of malnutrition and sickness, however, though Dae youth are amongst the fittest and most athletic in the region as a result. Citizens can receive subsidies and funding from the state for managing their diets and exercise habits properly, and are encouraged to do so in preparation for their mandatory military and civil service obligations. Hospitals and other medical institutions are managed and run on the federal level.

Tobacco
Daeseong's population faces a number of healthcare issues, most of which are based around the widespread use of cigarettes. Unlike alcohol and other substances, there is no legal age restriction on the purchase and use of tobacco, and is a widespread cultural phenomenon in Daeseong. Daeseong is one of the leading producers of tobacco, producing over 400,000 metric tonnes of tobacco a year. Health related costs of tobacco use amount to around $400 million a year, making tobacco a major strain of resources. Around 90% of Dae have smoked or do so regularly, usually smoking and cigars imported from abroad.

Government and Politics
Constitutionally, the Federation of Daeseong is a. In reality, all branches of government are dominated by the fascist Daeseong Sunrise Party.

With an efficient central government bound by an loose set of checks and balances outlined in the constitution, some might say that Daeseong is a unique combination of efficient and unitary, while still maintaining the auspices of a federal structure. With this powerful, overbearing central government set up to achieve rapid economic growth and strengthening of the nation it was also hoped that the rudimentary rights left to states would preserve the multi-ethnic and diverse nature of the nation. As large as it is, Daeseong's political and economic systems almost demand the flexibility and situational decision-making innate by a loose federal system, with vastly conflicting beliefs, religious values, and political differences between the various provinces. Generally, issues of social policy and infrastructure are left to states.

The of Daeseong is the, a body of directly elected officials from respective provincial districts determined by census population figures twice a decade. This body is responsible for proposing and passing all of the legislation in the nation, and consists of over 460 members. Each Senator is elected by a Voter district, which are sub divisions of the states themselves. Only the Senate may, ratify diplomatic treaties, create government agencies, or allocate spending, much of which is done through bi-partisan treaties between the nation's major political factions.

The education system was previously privatized until 2001, when the rise of the Daeseong Sunrise Party saw drastic changes in spending and allocation.

There are 880 voter districts within the nation, with many cities split between multiple voter districts. Each voter district theoretically offers representation to roughly a quarter of a million persons, though proposals to increase this number significantly have arisen due to the massive size of the senate body, and the inherent with so many representatives and individual voter districts.
