Jiesan is a country located in the Korean peninsula sharing borders with China to the north, North Korea, Isporos, and South Korea to the west. The Sea of Japan seperates Jiesan from Japan. It is a founding member of the League of Nations, a democratic union.



Jiesan was founded after the fall of Silla in the early 10th Century. It remained in power for only a brief period until the emeperor was overthrown by the Goryeo Dynasty in 935. It remained annexed with the Goryeo Dynasty until its fall in 1392.

In 1392, King U sent two generals, Yi Seong-gye and Seo Hwa-gye on a campaign to capture Liaoning of China. However, Yi Seong-gye stopped at the border and rebelled, causing the fall of the Goryeo empire. Upon learning about the rebellion, Seo Hwa-gye staged his own rebellion and captured the city of Jindo, present-day Hwagye.

After killing the last three kings of Goryeo, Yi Seong-gye established the Joseon Dynasty and sent his troops to defeat Seo Hwa-gye, but failed. Eventually, the two generals declared a truce and the Jiesan Dynasty was re-founded.

In 1910, the Japanese Imperial Army invaded the Korean peninsula. Despite the "forced occupation", the Japanese government constructed much of Jiesan's raiways for the purpose extracting the land's natural resources. Following the Japanese defeat in 1945, the Republic of Jiesan was founded while the Koreas were ultimately divided.

During the Korean War, North Korea invaded Jiesan. The Jiesanese government immediately allied with South Korea and its allies shortly thereafter. In the summer of 1953, near the end of the war, Jiesan regained its territory, however, the two Koreas failed to unify following cease-fire armstice.

As of today, civilian border movement between North Korea is prohibited and is under heavy military supervision due to threats of invasion by the North Korean government. However, South Koreans ans Isporosans enjoy border control free entrance into Jiesan.

Thanks to the massive infrastructure development by the Japanese during WWII, Jiesan's economy prospered after the war. During the 1980s, Jiesan's economy transitioned into a manufacturing-based economy much like South Korea's. It became the third fastest growing economy in Asia after Japan and South Korea. As South Korea's economic success was dubbed the "Miracle on the Han River", Jiesan's was called "Another Miracle on the Song River".

Hello, dizflip!

Wow! What a start you are off to here, my friend! Excellent work! If this is what we'll be seeing regularly here in Jiesan, I will be following along for sure!

One quick question for you, too: Where can I find the building that you've used as the National Museum? Seeing your work with it, I'm inspired to play with it myself!

Can't wait to see more!

Not much of an update today. Just a portion of North Kilgeo where many of the low rise housing, equivalent of American suburbs, are located.

[joelyboy911]

Wow, those suburbs are amazing. Also, the previous downtown update was truly impressive, and (sorry) where did you get the ANZ building in the first and third pictures? (ANZ stands for Australia New Zealand (Bank) - btw)(Found it!)
I can't wait to see more.

Wow, those suburbs are amazing. Where did you get the house BATs? Also, the previous downtown update was truly impressive, and (sorry) where did you get the ANZ building in the first and third pictures? (ANZ stands for Australia New Zealand (Bank) - btw)

I can't wait to see more.

Hey Joel its on the stex, got it myself. Search it and it'll probably come up.

Dizflip, beautiful city there and am loving the theme in the suburbs.

[jmdude1]

that was a nice little update. nice use of the canals and sunken highway. im looking forward to more.

actually, i can read korean quite easily, its the speaking and understanding it that kills me.  i lived in
korea for a few years in the early part of this decade and i also studied korean at university. 
unfortunately my skills are poor due to lack to practice and studying. im sure that will all change when
i go back next month.

keep up the good work.

[kimcar]

  Excellent work once again. It`s look so real. It`s amazing.

[djvandrake]

Wow!  Your downtown core looks wonderful.  You have an impressive array of buildings and the landscaping detail is very nice.  Those suburbs look wonderful too.  The multi-colored roofs add a nice feel.

This is great.  Can't wait for the next update. 

[Gaston]

Really a very interesting idea for a MD.   I love the "suburbs".   I'd love to know a bit more about them.   I've been trying to make a city that is entirely one theme, in it's residential construction.   Something along the similar lines as you have here.     Are the buildings grown or plopped?     Where did they come from?     
Very kool indeed.

[Glowbal]

Looking good. That's for sure!

I like North Kilgeo "suburbs" and the pics from update 1 are awesome, the way you placed the Arena apart from everything and near the sea is great!
