Korea

Korea, as Japan and China, has a long year tradition of espionage. The power was concentrated in the secret police, which tracked people and helped to create the perfect totality. The families in the country were responsible for each other and all were punished for offences of any of them. Also the role of an incognito inspector of corruption was 'popular'. If any corruption was found he had the right to punish the responsible. Since the year 1905 they became the protectorate of Japan. After the Second World War, Korea divided into two new states.
