| - The Great Korean Empire (Hangul: 대한제국, Hanja: 大韓帝國, Romanized: Daehan Jeguk) and commonly referred to as Korea (한국 or Hanguk in Korean) is a country in East Asia, constituting the Korean peninsula, Jeju-do Island, Socotra Rock, and the Liancourt Islands. It shares its only land borders with Manchuria and Russia to the north and shares overseas borders with China to the west and Japan to the east. The name "Korea" is derived from the name given to Kingdom of Goryeo, which was also spelled as Koryŏ. The current Korean state was established following the surrender of Japan in World War II. Through the Treaty of San Francisco, Japan agreed to relinquish control over the Korean peninsula and allow the re-installation of the government of the Korean Empire. The exiled Crown Prince Yi Un was crowned Emperor of Korea and a provisional government was established in 1952. The following year, on July 17, the Great Korean Empire was formed with Emperor Yi Un as its head of state and Syngman Rhee as its premier. Korea underwent several regime changes during the 20th century as well as two wars: the First Manchu-Korean War and Second Manchu-Korean War which threatened the nation's existence and stability. Since the 1990s, the Korean government stabilized and liberalized many of its economic and social policies, leading way as a highly developed nation. Today, Korea is a developed country and ranked 15th in the Human Development Index, the highest in East Asia. Globally, it is also one of the highest ranked countries in education, quality of healthcare, ease of doing business and job security. South Korea is the world's seventh largest exporter and is a highly advanced information society with South Korea having the world's fastest Internet connection speed, ranking first in e-Government, 4G LTE penetration and second in the ICT Development Index and smartphone penetration. It is a member of the League of Nations, OECD, the Trans-Pacific Allied Community, APEC, and the East Asia Summit.
