KPopia (KPopverse)

KPopia (Korean: 한국 팝 랜드) officially titled the Union of KPopia is an island country located in the East Sea, approximately 20,000 miles away from the country, at an alternate dimension known as Earth-IAE7814. KPopia was only inhabited by four people when it was first formed, Eiji, Seo Taiji, Yang Hyun-suk, and Lee Juno before its funding before settlers arrived, such as BoA, Moon Hee-Joon, Kangta, Bada, Eugene, and Shoo. KPopia has succeeded from several countries, such as ones in Asia such as South Korea and Japan, and ones in North America such as the United States (mostly California and Texas).

Etymology
KPopia was founded on April 15, 1992, not too long after the forming of one of the oldest K-Pop groups, Seo Taiji and Boys. It took nearly 6 years for settlers to arrive, with Moon Hee-Joon, a member of H.O.T being the first one to do so. The country's name was picked because the whole place is based merely on K-Pop and Korean music in general.

History
As time went on, KPopia had managed to build a massive amount of settlers, growing at a rapid rate. It was also subject to multiple governments and citizenship phases, while also building an empire to "fitting of K-Pop's might".

Seo Taiji and Boys split up and the founding of YG Entertainment
In January 1996, Seo Taiji announced that his group, Seo Taiji and Boys would be splitting up after the release of their fourth album. This announcement was met with disappointment from millions of fans in KPopia, as they had been extremely popular ever since their debut in the Korean industry. Their compilation album Goodbye Best Album was released later that year.

After their disbandment, the members would participate in solo activities. One of the members, Yang Hyun-Suk, ended up founding YG Entertainment, one of the biggest entertainment companies in KPopia. Seo Taiji had a very successful solo career; he is now referred to as the "President of culture" in KPopia. He also eventually became president of KPopia in a unanimous vote in 2001.

War with USAPopia
After 9 years of peace, Moon Hae-Joon, a former member of H.O.T, revealed that USAPopia, a country that often traded with KPopia for resources to help the settlers survive, had ordered an attempted assassination on Lee Joon, a former member of Seo Taiji and Boys and one of the founders of KPopia. USAPopia had planned on sabotaging the bloodline of the members of the band and Eiji so that war could be unleashed when they died. As a result, USAPopia and KPopia fought in a war for about 4 years, with KPopia becoming victorious. After the war, USAPopia was forced to sign a peace treaty that would prevent them from engaging in any form of government-controlled violence against KPopia in fear that the battle would be taken on the homeland. Regular trade had later resumed between the two.

Formation of multiple groups
In the next half of the 2000s, KPopia's industry had been growing big, mainly because of the founding of multiple K-Pop groups, such as TVXQ, Super Junior, Big Bang, T-ara, Wonder Girls, etc. However, one that had stood out between those groups is a particular girl group known as Girls' Generation. The group consisted of nine members: Taeyeon, Jessica, Sunny, Tiffany, Hyoyeon, Yuri, Sooyoung, Yoona, and Seohyun. When they debuted with their song "Into the New World", the whole island freaked. Never had they seen such a talented girl group in their life. Soon, Girls Generation released more singles, but one that stood out was "Gee". It had made a major impact on K-Pop as a whole and even spread interest in other countries such as United States, Japan, etc. This caused more people to settle in KPopia, causing their population to spike up.

Formation of BTS
In 2013, a group of boys signed with Bighit Entertainment founded the 7 member group BTS. They were an immediate success when they released their first single album 2 Cool 4 School (2014) and eventually garnered widespread popularity around the world in 2015, gaining a large fanbase called the ARMY. Their popularity caused more people to come to KPopia, with its population going from 1,990,000+ to 15,580,000+.

Black Pink and TWICE form
In 2015 and 2016 respectively, two girl groups were formed. TWICE and Black Pink. TWICE had released a song in 2016 called "Cheer Up", which garnered widespread acclaim from audiences around the world. Black Pink also released a song that same year called "Boombayah" which also received acclaim from audiences. Tzuyu eventually became one of the most popular singers in KPopia, and Lisa became the most followed K-Pop singer on Instagram. The two even attracted some people from Japan when they released some Japanese singles, rising KPopia's population.

Tzuyu becomes the president of KPopia
In 2018, an election for president occurred, with the nominees being Jungkook, Taeyeon, G-Dragon, Lisa, Tzuyu, Seulgi, etc. Multiple votes happened, and the nominees voted out were Lisa, Seulgi, Taeyeon, and G-Dragon. Jungkook and Tzuyu were the only nominees left. Jungkook had been getting a lot of votes, and it looked like he was about to win, but then Tzuyu started getting a ton of votes, and she eventually won the elections, causing her to become president of KPopia, replacing Seo Taiji after 17 years, similar to how Donald Trump unexpectedly became president. Most of the ARMY was disappointed, but the TWICE fans, including Eiji, rejoiced.

Switch to Communism
Around early 2020, multiple protests happened across the country, complaining about the fact that capitalism is undermining the country, and that the country needs a dictatorship. Most of these protests were successful and got the attention of the media, who were on their side. Because of this, on February 3, 2020, President Tzuyu announced that the country would be switching to a Communist dictatorship. She stated that she felt that capitalism is causing the economy to severely go down and that lower-class people are not being treated fairly. She also announced that she will now be the dictator of the country and that she will control its laws, and everything all by herself.

Geography
KPopia is located about 20,000 miles away from South Korea on an island between Korea and Japan, with large mountains and green grass.

Climate
KPopia has pretty much the same climate as South Korea, except its often 4 degrees hotter than usual.
