* ButtMonkey: The Remnants of North Korea are treated this way by everyone. They insist they are still a super power and true rulers of Korea even though all the human nations of the Earth and the colonies have accepted that South Korea is the actual government of Korea while the North are just bitter exiles who now lived in Mars. Even their BlatantLies of claiming the people living at Epsilon Eridani system are their descendants and thus the planets belonging to them are treated as a joke since they neither have the technology or resources to do so (a fact made clear when a North Korean rocket heading to Epsilon Eridani explodes before even leaving the Martian atmosphere).

This all sounds simple enough ... until events on all three worlds are shaken up by the arrival of visitors from Planet Earth. And not just any visitors, but an [[MegaCorp ultra-advanced and power-hungry multinational company]] from an [[TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture dystopian 22nd century Earth]] called ... [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin The Company™]]. The end result is a story that blends some of our favorite medieval fantasy settings with a straight up SpaceOpera complete with spaceships, robots, and lasers ... as well as the writer's own injection of [[AffectionateParody humor and great heaping helpings of sarcasm]] and [[ShoutOut pop culture references]].
