It might not be an exaggeration to say it's the most peaceful economic market in the world. "In terms of" the economic market, that is. Tourism: No particular scenic spots, but the beautiful streetscape around the capital, which combines Chinese and Western styles, is famous. While the city center is Europeanized while retaining Chinese elements, the suburbs and rural areas have a strong Chinese flavor and are also popular. You can experience local life in various rural towns. Also, the unique food culture is popular, with long lines at many restaurants. There are many Chinese-style dishes, but few are spicy and they are basically mild. The European-style hot pot is unique to the Republic of Yi-Al and is particularly popular. The specialty Kuten tea is popular for its unique flavor that leaves a bittersweet yet somehow sweet aftertaste. Military: Quite dangerous and insane. Out of their minds. The head is Yi-Al himself. Mandatory dormitory system. Applicants are forced to undergo actual combat and torture during the entrance exam. Those who endure the exam become high-ranking officials as certified "mentally unstable," while those who cannot endure fall to the rank of common soldiers as "normal people." ...It can't be helped, since the country itself is crazed with bloodlust. It's the fault of those who thought of joining the military. Resignation is free, which is kind, but it comes with the condition of execution if military information is leaked. The internal structure of the military is top secret, and to prevent information leakage, joining the military is confirmed the moment one takes the exam. Therefore, "selection exam" is more accurate than "entrance exam." There is no end to those who admire the secretive military that quietly protects the country and take the exam. Every once in a long while, a truly mentally unstable person takes the exam, and in those cases, Yi-Al himself reportedly handles them with joy. Militarily, they are quite strong. They are very close to a certain neighboring country and often conduct military exercises. While the military is impressive in many ways, the reality is that the surrounding countries are so peaceful that almost nothing happens, so it has become a place where the mentally unstable just play around. Equipment: Not certain as it is a classified matter for the upper brass, but it is observed that they possess many firearms as well as guided missiles, chemicals, and drones. Perhaps because they specialize in intellectual warfare. Primary Industry: Flourishing for a semi-military state. Specialties include Kuten tea leaves and rye for crops, and pork for livestock. Rice cultivation is basically not practiced. It's unclear whether it's Chinese or European style. Secondary Industry: Not very active except for some parts. If anything, food processing could be said to be active. The IT industry has seen remarkable development recently. Tertiary Industry: Trade is flourishing. Being at the crossroads of different cultures, it naturally became active. The tourism industry also generates significant income. Tours that involve experiencing life in the countryside before sightseeing in urban areas and eating through the so-called gourmet streets are popular. Geography: Located between Europe and Asia.

There are buildings of various religions in different regions. National Character: Everyone is cheerful and easy to approach. Many kind people.
