South Korea is a developed country which extends 1,100 km from the mainland of Asia, with Japan to its right, China to its left and North Korea to its North. The local climate is relatively temperate, with rain heavier in summer during a short rainy season (monsoon), and winters are very cold and frosty. South Korea's capital and largest city is Seoul in the northwest, with other major cities such as Busan, which act a connection to the neighbouring countries.
The current population is 47.9 million, with expected decline in population by 2050. Currently there are 491 people to every square kilometre and it is the 25th most populated country in the world.

The birh rate is quite low, as more and more women do not want to settle down at an younger age and have children, as South Korea's economy is strongly improving and more job opportunities ca be found.
