A country that has recently undergone a major Western civilization transformation into their culture and has thus received a recent major fanbase, as a result. They are representing the Western world in East Asia, very well.
Before the 2010s, nobody in the Western world (even the USA) was talking about K-pop, Samsung and even Korean Anime. Or wanting to buy Hyundai's or Kia's. This recent obsession with Korea has skyrocketed and surpassed Japan. (who dominated the American industry from 1980s-2000s; like Germany. But have now fallen off the grid.) South Koreans are very smart, humble, educated and efficient people. Everyone agrees: Korea is the next big thing.
The Koreans have finally managed to subdue Japan in terms of East Asian respect and fandom in the West. But Japan no longer in the spotlight has been taken over and overshadowed by Korea and could only hope to improve...(However, it is still considered cool to speak Japanese. Even in Korea.)

It's now finally considered cool to be Korean, at last. Oooooh! Japan must be jealous!
They are also considered one the USA's best friends/allies. (never had conflict with Americans, unlike Japan or China.) South Korea is very America-friendly, just like Poland in Europe and are very respectful and grateful people. Three good, hard-working friends around the world: United States, South Korea and Poland. (And just like Korea with Japan; I would not be surprised if Poland surpasses Germany in the future, as well.)
You have to love the Korean (and other oriental) work ethic. And hey, they are also very family-oriented people, considerate and are not antisocial or barbaric, corrupt, or unnecessarily arrogant like the Chinese.
They also have a very unique language, that is (apparently) unlike any other. And the grammar/syntax is very mind-blowing, consummate and versatile; in it's sheer originality. (A Korean once told me: Speaking Korean in the OSV word order makes you sound very knowledgeable and self-assured. (i.e. makes you look smart, high class/noble, or like an expert etc.) But that it's way harder and more oblique than SOV. Interestingly, just like other Oriental languages; there are various ways of speaking the language, that will make your personality/character sound differently. (in essence.) SOV tends to sound informal while OSV tends to be more formal.
We can only hope that South Korea and North Korea can unite in the future as one: Korea !!

An island in the Pacific ocean that's a state of the USA. Most of the people there are not what you would call average Americans and they are a very non-white and non-Amerindian population. (not that there is anything wrong with that- but they're just not really traditional "American".)
I, being a Cajun from Louisiana state; personally do not care about them. If they want to secede from the rest of the USA, I wouldn't care and would let them. They don't like us so-called Southerner "redneck types" anyway. And are probably communists.
I say, let them secede as a foreign nation on their own and/or let the Japanese have it.

Why Hawaii was even made into a State of America is beyond me. I can understand Alaska, but Hawaii? Did we really need this worthless island?
