North and South Koreans live in northeastern Asia, mostly on a peninsula sharing a northern boundary with China and Russia and facing Japan across the Korea Strait and the East Sea. The Koreas are ethnically a homogeneous nation with a prolonged political and cultural influence from China, especially the Confucian classics, which had a profound impact upon the written and spoken Korean language, an Ural-Altaic language.  There are no mutually unintelligible dialects. Buddhism and Confucianism have been the main religions. Korea was a colony of Japan from 1910-1945. The economy is mostly based on industry and services, particularly in South Korea which has had rapid growth and integration into the world economy.
