Koguryo is a large nation in the geographic center of the Kingdom of the Winds. The nation was founded by King Tongmyong Wang, who was succeeded by his son Yuri(myong). The Capitol of Koguryo is the City of Kugnae, a large, sprawling city. However, as compared to the large commercial nation of Buya, the population of Kugnae and of Koguryo as a whole is relatively low.
Politics
KING: King Mu-hyul Wang
HEAD OF STATE: King Mu-hyul Wang
ROYAL MINISTER: Minister Gilley
ROYAL AMBASSADOR: Ambassador Maya
HEAD OF MILITARY: General Hatiki
Since the early 20s, King Yuri had delegated most of his authority to his second son, Prince Mu-hyul. The Prince dealt with all day to day policy, while the King appeared only for ceremonial duties. On the eve of his 83rd year of reign, however, the King died of natural causes, and Mu-hyul was crowned as King of Koguryo. Much of the actual management of Koguryo's affairs is actually in the hands of its Royal Ministry, led by Prime Minister Gilley. The Royal Ministry sees to keeping the citizens of Koguryo, and all of the Kingdom of the Winds, well satisfied.
Five subpaths reside within Koguryian borders. The Chongun, Diviner, Merchant, Monk, and Spy subpaths maintain significant autonomy, while still pledging fealty and giving some small tribute to the sovereignty. Clans are also given some autonomy, but are at the beck and call of the Royalty when the time comes.
Koguryo is a member of the Tri-Kingdom Alliance, along with the Principality of Nagnang and Empire of Buya. It also maintains a tenuous peace with the Ogre Kingdom within its lands, though many Ogres and humans battle in the caves of Hamgyong Nam-Do, and humans are rarely if ever allowed into the hidden ogre city of Ja-gook.
