The Republic of Korea, South Korea, is in eastern Asia bordering the Sea of Japan and the Yellow Sea, and on the southern part of the Korean Peninsula bordering North Korea. The population is about 49 million people. While the official language is Korean, English is widely taught in schools.
The government is a republic with a president as chief of state and a prime minister as head of government. The president is elected by popular vote, and the president appoints the prime minister with the consent of the National Assembly.
At the end of World War II, Korea was divided into North and South Korea. In 1950, North Korea invaded South Korea, starting the Korean War. This war ended in 1953 with no peace agreement. There is continued animosity between the two countries. After the Korean War, the South Korean economy grew significantly, and South Korea became a regional power in East Asia.
