Federal Government and Provincial Government. The Prime Minister of Korea is elected in federal elections every 4 years, while PM/Premiers (Provincial Prime Ministers) are elected in provincial elections every 5. The Prime Minister of Korea may serve up to 3 consecutive terms, while Provincial Prime Ministers may serve indefinitely, unless a petition that garners over 100,000 signatures is sent to the federal Prime Minister for review, where a provincial summit is held and the decision to initiate an emergency election (where the provincial premier who's been petitoned against may not run) is reached.

Short History:
![[Image: I3vj1H0.gif]](https://i.imgur.com/I3vj1H0.gif)
Following an international crisis on North and South Korean border disputes in the years 2015-2017, China intervenes and invades Northern Korea, following nuclear threats made by the North. South Korea uses this as momentum, and invades the North. Also using the oppurtunity given to them, civilians in the North rebel, and the Facist dictatorship in power is overthrown. A joint United-Nations Coalition led by Korea's neighbours across the pacific to the East, the United-States and Canada, capture North Korea's Nuclear Inter-Continental-Ballistic-Missile sites. The revolution in the North lasted several months, during the most of which the European Union provided aid to the newly-emancipated North Koreans. China occupies the territory it captures, so the U.S., cautious not to start yet another Cold War, does not act. For the remainder of the Korean Revolutionary War, the U.S. establishes military bases at the location of the seized warheads with its ally, Canada, and does not move deeper into the North. The U.S.A.'s omission pays off, and China relinquishes ownership of the 65% of North Korea it captured, to the South, in return for increased trade and the creation of new political bonds. The South accepts, and forms a placeholder government with the rebels in the North. Diplomats from around the world are flown into Seoul for further negociations. The current president of the North is detained, and awaits his U.N. trial. 14 months following the execution of the head of the north, a formal parliamentary government is formed, and the Democratic United Provinces of Korea become an internationally-recognized country, its military a patchwork of Southern and Northern men, women, vehicles and weapons.
