Stay! Stay! Democratic People's Republic of Korea! is a Visual Novel Dating Sim made by the same creators of Panzermadels. The player controls Donald Trump, and sees his journey through Korea while being guided by two North Korean military sisters, Jeong and Eunji. Unfortunately, Donald doesn't understand the differences in culture between North Korea and his homeland, America, so this can hamper his stay in the new country.

The game's name is a reference to Go! Go! Nippon!, which portions of the game parody.


Stay! Stay! Democratic People's Republic of Korea! provides examples of:

  • Action Girl: Although these two girls never actually see any fighting in the game, they qualify as this, considering their military status.
  • Asian Speekee Engrish: Not normally, but Eunji's English is terrible and poorly accented.
  • Betty and Veronica: Jeong and Eunji kinda serve this dynamic, seeing as how they're nice and mean, respectively.
  • Blatant Lies:
    • Some of the sisters' information about Korea's leader can serve as this. Like how he apparently invented karate.
    • Jeong gasps loudly when Donald Trump says that Eunji would be a Dude Magnet back in the American military. Jeong says it was merely a sneeze, but Donald doesn't believe any of it.
  • Bodyguard Crush: Jeong and Eunji kinda serve as this towards Donald Trump.
  • Breaking the Fourth Wall: Jeong does this sometimes, such as when she nearly falls asleep in a car ride and keeps reading Donald's text boxes. Other characters may do so more occasionally.
  • Bust-Contrast Duo: Jeong is large-chested and fairly friendly, Eunji is flat and more brash.
  • Crappy Carnival: The People's Pleasure Ground has attractions which lose power pretty often, causing people to have to leave them.
  • Crash-Into Hello: Donald Trump crashes into Jeong when meeting her at the airport.
  • Culture Clash: There are numerous examples of this, considering how the game revolves around an ignorant American traveling through North Korea.
  • Curtains Match the Windows: Both the sisters have brown eyes to match their hair.
  • Dating Sim: Though there aren't many options, it counts as this.
  • Dude Magnet: Supposedly. Donald Trump says Eunji would be a Dude Magnet towards the Marines in the American military.
  • Gender-Blender Name: The player character is shocked to learn that Jeong and Eunji are girls, since those would be boy names.
  • Hello, [Insert Name Here]: You get to input your name at the beginning, and you'll often be referred to by it (though the Canon Name is Donald Trump) and there are still cases when you'd be referred to as "Protagonist".
  • Hotter and Sexier: Compared to Go! Go! Nippon!, the inspiration, there are more fanservice scenes.
  • I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: Jeong feels a downplayed version of this towards Eunji and Donald's possible romance.
  • Matchmaker Crush: Jeong does this for her younger sister Eunji and Donald Trump.
  • Multiple Endings: Four endings are available. Two are earned by hooking up with one of the girls, one by being as neutral as possible, and the other by treating either one of them poorly.
  • The Napoleon: Eunji is a good example of this. She's shorter than Jeong and she's infinitely more aggressive.
  • Nice Guy: Jeong and Donald Trump are.
  • Oblivious to Love: Donald Trump is downplayed version, being somewhat oblivious to the girls' affections despite Jeong almost spelling it out for him.
  • Sdrawkcab Name: The protagonist, Donald Trump, shares the same last name of the previous protagonist, Erwin Lemmor. Lemmor is Rommel backwards.
  • Shown Their Work: There has been research put into Korean people's lives, for example pictures of the military not being allowed without permission or not at a national event.
  • Socially Awkward Hero: Donald Trump is a variant of this, seeing as how he misunderstands North Korea's culture.
  • Talking in Your Sleep: Eunji apparently speaks while sleeping, which gets problematic when she gives drill orders at 2 p.m.
  • Too Much Information: The player character sees the information that the Glorious Leader is apparently the most virile man in the world with 18 children as intel he didn't need to know.
  • Tsundere: Eunji, who tends to show affection but ultimately say she's just following orders or go for the standard "it's not like I did this for you or anything" approach.
  • Two Decades Behind: The tech in Korea is shown to be very behind. One of the clearest examples is Freddie Mercury's music still being modern, or Donald Trump getting an apparently new phone which is a Motto-Rollah Dyntac model (based on Motorola DynaTAC from 1983).

Alternative Title(s): Stay Stay DPRK
