Korea (Red Alert 2)

The Republic of Korea (Daehan Minguk in Korean) is a democratic nation in East Asia. During the Great World War III, they were a member of the Allies.

History
Korea traces it's founding back to 2333 BC, though it's believed that the Korean peninsula was populated by the ancestors of the Koreans since the paleolithic period.

During the early Twentieth Century, the nation of Korea faced turmoil. Korea was taken over by Japan in 1910, and it wasn't until Japan's defeat in 1945 that Korea gained it's independence. However, in later decades, South Korea's economic and political status have improved. It is currently considered a First-World Nation, and has held free and fair elections. It has joined the Allies, being a vital partner in the defense of the Pacific.

Military
The Republic of Korea possesses a modern, well-equipped army, comparable to that of any other Allied Nation. It also possesses a significant naval presence, though it was unable to successfully stage an oceanic invasion of the Russian homeland during GWWII.

However, perhaps the most powerful element of Korea's military is it's air force. Well-trained and battle-hardened, South Korean pilots have the additional advantage of the Black Eagle, a VTOL Strike Fighter with sophisticated avionics and weapons systems, superior to those of a Harrier. These were put to good use during the destruction of Yuri's cloning facilities in Australia.
