See 천조국 in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Proper name

IPA: [t͡ɕʰʌ̹ɲd͡ʑo̞ɡuk̚] [SK-Standard, Seoul] Forms: Cheonjoguk [romanization], 千兆國 [hanja]
Etymology: Originally a Sino-Korean word from 天朝 (“Celestial Empire”) + 國 (“country”), with the implied criticism that South Korea is a self-deprecating vassal state of America in the same way that dynastic Korea used to revere China as the Empire of Heaven. Now generally reinterpreted as a Sino-Korean word from 千兆 (“quadrillion”) + 國 (“country”), satirizing the fact that the United States military budget, when rounded up, is equivalent to a quadrillion South Korean won.
