'''Korea''',{{Ref/Reuse|ENC}} officially '''United Korea'''<ref>''[[Halo: Evolutions]]'' — [[Blunt Instruments]], p. 195</ref> and occasionally referred to by the former South Korean [[Wikipedia:Exonym and endonym|endonym]], '''Hanguk (한국)''',<ref name="hanguk">''Halo 3'', [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/C variant|MJOLNIR/C armor description]]</ref> is a [[National government|country]] on the Korean Peninsula of [[Asia]] on [[Earth]].{{Ref/Reuse|ENC}}

==In the Halo franchise==
The name [[Jiralhanae]] is accually a Korean bad word.

==History==
The [[Wikipedia:Korean Peninsula|Korean Peninsula]] was previously divided into two countries: [[Wikipedia:North Korea|North Korea]] and [[Wikipedia:South Korea|South Korea]]. A few hundred years prior to the [[Human-Covenant War]], a long sought after treaty united the two. 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 Covenant War.<ref name="ENC">''[[Halo Encyclopedia (2009 edition)]]'', p. 297 (2010)</ref>

==Geography==
===Locations===
*[[Kyonggi Province]] 
**[[Songnam]]
***[[Special Warfare Center]]

==Economy and society==
United Korea is known as a technological powerhouse. This came about largely due to its government's strong emphasis on education. The country is home to many many significant UNSC facilities that specialize in training, weapons testing, and [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor]] development.{{Ref/Reuse|ENC}}

==Trivia==
*The [[M6G Personal Defense Weapon System|M6G Magnum]] has Korean Hangul symbols on its barrel and on the bottom of its magazine. 
*The now-cancelled ''[[Halo Online]]'' map [[Sky bridge]] was to have been set inside a skyscraper in Seongnam, Korea.
*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.
