HISTORY: So, who knows their Korean history? To avoid a long quotation of the Wikipedia article, i'll generally summarize: Korea has historically been its own nation (or confederation of states) since about 2333 BCE. The states that comprised it were even able to repel large scale Chinese invasions and fight the Mongols to a peace treaty. Of course, all of that starts going to heck by the end of the 1500s when Japan invaded, followed by an invasion by the Manchu Qing, a couple hundred years of peace, incidents with the Western nations, and then total annexation by Japan in 1910. Let's try to avoid that, shall we?
THE GOALS: For the EU2 part of this AAR, the goals are fairly simple -
1. By the end of the scenario retain the parts of Korea that belong to it historically (the two provinces that one starts out with)
2. Build up Korea's forces so as to be a power equal to, or stronger than its neighbors (so those invasions won't go as well as they did historically, even if Korea won in the end)
3. The hard one: If possible, conquer enough of Japan, Manchu, or maybe even China such that Korea's security is permanently secured (at least until we have to fight the West).
I will be doing this AAR on a verbal basis, from the point of view of the ruler of the Kingdom of Great Joseon (which I think is ruled by King Sejong the Great at this time period). As for the number of years, it varies based on how much occurs during them. Alright? Then sit back and enjoy the show!

EDIT: Certain things have come up, leaving me without the inclination to do this AAR. Unless someone specifically asks for it, it's not gonna happen.
