THE REPUBLIC OF KOREA

The Republic of Korea occupies an area about the size of one-hundredths of Canada(99,300㎢), with a population of 50million including 10million people in the capital city of Seoul. Korea is a ruggedly beautiful, mountainous country with only about one-fourth of the land suitable for cultivation. The climate of Korea is characterized by four distinct seasons, ranging from cold, dry winter to hot, humid summer. Spring and fall are delightful with moderate temperature, little rainfall particularly in autumn and abundant opportunities to witness the annual cycle of growth in the countryside. Korea is country that is lacking in natural resources. Growth of the nation's important export sector is based largely on importation and processing of raw materials into exportable product. However, much of the rapid growth in industry is solidly based on Korea's most important resource-the hard working, energetic, ambitious and intelligent Korean people.
