Guryeo Sub-sector

The Kingdom of Guryeo is one of the Sub-sectors that make the Toa Sector. It shares its borders with the New Empire of Japan in the South and East and with the People's Republic of Cathay in the West. The majority of the population live in the Sudogwon System where the capital planet also is located.

History
The Guryeo Sub-sector has been inhabited as early as the Dark Age of Technology. The first settlers are believed to be from one of the East Asian nations of Pre-Imperial Terra as the naming of planets and their local language derive. It appears that the Sub-sector had some sort of government prior to the Age of Strife.

In the Age of Strife the original government collapsed due to civil unrest and constant wars with Sino. In it's place were independent kingdoms with three standing the strongest of all: Goguryeo, Baekje and Silla. Later on Silla would annex Baekje and Balhae will be formed from the ruins of Goguryeo. The kingdoms lived in peace with Sino and the kingdoms were replaced with Guryeo to the South and Khitan to the North. Both kingdoms are eventually unified by the Guryeo King Taejo during the Imperium of Man's Great Crusade and pledged his allegiance to the Emperor of Mankind and Holy Terra.

Politics
Guryeo is ruled over by a hereditary monarch that claims legitimacy from King Taejo and the later dynasty that took power. The role of the monarch is of a secular and religious role, a head-of-state with a cabinet of oligarchs. Inspired by the Imperial Cult of Cathay where they mix state and religious affairs Guryeo also follows the Mandate of Terra, a claim that their ruler has been selected to rule by the Emperor of Mankind and to replace a dynasty if needed.

Military
The Great Guryeo Armed Forces are the military force of Guryeo. Like it's neighbours the planetary defences are centralised. Conscription brings in a large number of soldiers that have to serve for an average of 21 months.
