First Land Survey of 2020
On November 5th the nation conducted a land survey to create a comprehensive map of the kingdom. The purpose of the map was to aid in the future development of the nation as well as aid in the partitioning of any future districts. The survey also included areas of the southern Korean peninsula but did not include areas of the East sea or the Yellow sea to keep the map size manageable. There are claimed islands within these seas (such as Ulleungdo and Dokdo) that are not shown in this map for the sake of practicality.



Map of the First Land Survey of 2020
At the time of the maps creation, it was the most precise and accurate map of any nation that was publicly available. The national border data was taken directly from the international political map and the land survey had a 1 to 1 resolution as every block was represented by a pixel in the map.

The map also used colored shading and white overtones to represent biome information and elevation data respectively. This data revealed the mountainous nature of the nation and showed the highest peaks of the nation existed in the northeastern half of the peninsula. The biome information showed most of the nation existed in swampland and is the nation with the most swampland in the world. As one of the few nations to have access to swampland within their borders they are also one of the only nations in the eastern hemisphere to have plentiful access to slime spawning areas. As a result of this, slime is one of the top exports of the kingdom.

The Steelgrad Affair
Relations between the Kingdom of Joseon and the state of Steelgrad had been tense since their respective foundations, with the small Korean Peninsula serving as their shared domain. On the Ninth of November, the Kingdom of Joseon demanded their capitulation, resulting in a brief armed conflict, the result of which was the integration of Steelgrad as the province of Namhan. Commander Hankshark of the Joseon National People's Army was appointed as Duke of Namhan and has begun the reintegration of Namhan into Joseon.

War of Indonesian Containment
Joseon was a major participant in the Coalition War, having joined forces with several other nations to contain the hostility and toxicity by Indonesian nationals SoAss and Shamski.

Battle of Pyongyang
On 17 November, just a few hours after the declaration of war against Indonesia, Indonesian forces raided Pyongyang, defended by Duke Hankshark and Minister Alehks. In under an hour, the battle was inconclusively ended when Hankshark killed the Indonesian General Shamski. Almost every building and public space in Pyongyang was damaged by the combat. In the weeks since the battle, Pyongyang was rebuilt by the joint effort of Minister Alehks, Duke Hankshark, and King Leldy.
