The national legislature is a unicameral Assembly with 120 seats. The president serves as head of state in a largely ceremonial role, while the prime minister leads the government. The country is divided into eight administrative regions corresponding to its islands.

Economy: The economy is diversified. Key sectors include fishing and aquaculture, citrus and olive agriculture, light manufacturing, and ecotourism. Kooreos also invests in wind and tidal power. The currency is the Koorean crown (KC). Major exports include seafood, citrus products, and handicrafts.

Culture and society: Koorean is the predominant language, with Common Tirannian widely used in business and education. Cultural life centers on maritime traditions, music, and seafood cuisine. The Tide Festival, held each summer, is a notable national event.
