History of foundation and development The history of South Korea begins with the Soviet-American agreement in the late summer of 1945 on the division of spheres of influence on the peninsula. According to this agreement, the part of Korea south of the 38th parallel came under the jurisdiction of the United States, while the northern part came under the jurisdiction of the Soviet Union. Since its founding, South Korea has come a long way in the development of its economy and culture. In the 1960s, the country was one of the poorest in the region, but now it is a developed industrial state. Since the 1990s, Korean music, television dramas and cinema have become increasingly popular in other countries around the world.

Parliament of South Korea South Korea has a unicameral National Assembly (299 seats). 243 deputies are elected according to a majoritarian system with a relative majority of votes in single-member constituencies, 46 according to national party lists with a 5 percent barrier. The term of parliamentary office is 4 years. Parliamentary elections began to be held. Until 1988, elections were held under significant restrictions on democratic freedoms by South Korean presidents Park Chung-hee and, later, Chun Doo-hwan. In 1988, the first free parliamentary elections were held.

Administrative division South Korea is divided into 1 city of special status (Teukpyeolsi), 6 cities of direct subordination (“metropolitan cities”) with a status equivalent to provinces (Gwangyeoksi) and 9 provinces (to). They, in turn, are divided into a number of smaller entities, including: city (si), county (kun), district (ku), large district (yp), village (myeon), district (ton) and microdistrict (ri) .

Natural resources South Korea produces coal, tungsten, graphite, molybdenum, lead. coal tungsten graphite molybdenum lead Land use: arable land: 21% grassland: 1% forested areas: 65% other: 13% (1993 est.) Irrigated land: km² (1993, estimate.)

Economy of South Korea Advantages: the world's largest ship manufacturer (45% market share). Stable budget surplus, because Korean exports prevailed over Japanese ones due to the high exchange rate of the yen. There is great demand in China for Korean goods, especially cars. Weaknesses: High debt and sensitivity to international capital movements. Since 1997, a growing labor movement. Strong competition from Japan.

Industry In the 1940s, the country's economy relied primarily on agriculture and light industry. Over the next few decades, the emphasis shifted towards light industry and consumer goods production, and in the 70s and 80s of the 20th century towards heavy industry. In the 30 years after President Park Chung-hee announced the start of the first Five-Year Plan in 1962, the country's economy grew at a very high rate, and the structure of the economy itself changed greatly.

Population Koreans make up the absolute majority of the country's population (excluding a small (100 thousand) Chinese minority, especially those who came to the country from outside China, Hong Kong and Macau, that is, from Japan, Malaysia, India and the Philippines). Many workers are from China, Philippines and Malaysia. In large cities, especially Seoul, foreigners work in the fields of business and education. An American military contingent of one man is present.

Korea, or Joseon (Land of Morning Calm), is located on the Korean Peninsula, the adjacent mainland and islands. The nature of this country, washed by seas on three sides, is diverse and beautiful. The flourishing region, replete with riches of gold, gems, and marble, has long attracted neighboring peoples.

However, Korea not only fought with neighboring countries, but also assimilated their cultural achievements, which gradually adapted to local customs. Art originated on the Korean Peninsula in the 3rd millennium BC. Ancient Joseon - originated in 2333 BC.

By the beginning of the 1st millennium BC. Large agricultural settlements were created, the central place of which was occupied by the palace of the chief of the chief priest of the tribe. The cult of deceased ancestors played a special role in the rituals of ancient Koreans. The graves of noble ancestors were immortalized with monuments of huge table-shaped stone dolmens, which were several stones dug into the ground, covered with a stone slab.

The high artistic culture of Korea, which had a significant impact on the art of Japan and, in turn, received the influence of China, took shape at the beginning of the new era in the so-called period of the Three Kingdoms of Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla. Crafts flourished here: bronze was smelted with great skill, precious metals were processed, and stone carving was done.
