The [[Wikipedia:Korean Peninsula|Korean Peninsula]] was previously divided into two countries: [[Wikipedia:North Korea|North Korea]] and [[Wikipedia:South Korea|South Korea]]. | The [[Wikipedia:Korean Peninsula|Korean Peninsula]] was previously divided into two countries: [[Wikipedia:North Korea|North Korea]] and [[Wikipedia:South Korea|South Korea]]. At some point in either the twenty-first, twenty-second, or twenty-third centuries, the two nations, previously hostile to one another, were brought together with the signing of a long-anticipated treaty. After the creation of the [[United Nations Space Command]], many different bases—military and otherwise—were established in the country. These became sites of critical importance for the testing of ordnance and the training of officers, especially during and after the [[Human-Covenant War]].<ref name="ENC">'''Halo Encyclopedia''', ''page 297'' (2010)</ref> | ||
==Geography== | ==Geography== | ||
United Korea encompasses all of the Korean Peninsula. To the northwest, the [[Wikipedia:Amnok River|Amnok River]] separates Korea from [[China]] and to the northeast, the Duman River separates Korea from China and Russia. The peninsula is surrounded by the Yellow Sea to the west, the East China Sea and Korea Strait to the south, and the Sea of [[Japan]] to the east. Korea's most notable city is [[Songnam]], located in the [[Wikipedia:Gyeonggi Province|Kyonggi Province]] in the north of what used to be South Korea. It is famed for its [[Special Warfare Center]].<ref name="New Gangwon" group="note">In ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'', a location called [[New Gangwon]] is mentioned. It is also possible that "New Gangwon" represents a reconstitution of the historical Gangwon Province, which was divided into the southern Gangwon Province and the northern Kangwon Province during the twentieth-century partitioning of Korea. When Korea reunited, it is possible that these two provinces were again reunited under the name "New Gangwon". That New Gangwon might be located within Korea on Earth is made more plausible by the fact that New Gangwon is known to be home to weapons development facilities.</ref> | |||
