The only real way to divide Korea is into Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla. We can call them North, West, and East Korea though

what projection is this? Looks super distorted

How about a North/South Korea, and an East/West Korea? All four quadrants meet at Panmunjom. You can cross on the diagonal, but never a row or column.

What if it's upper and lower Korea? Everything above the average elevation of Korea is upper, the rest is lower

These lines are not straight enough, they appear to follow already established administrative borders. I propose a straight line that completely ignores all this. I think that is the only sensible solution.

Instead of a DMZ you will have a urethra, not dark but beautiful and terrible as the dawn!

Let's leave the border the same. But just to spice things up, we'll move all the South Koreans to North Korea and all the North Koreans to South Korea. Then they'll just swap places every ten years. It will so whimsical!

Worked for Germany /s

Nah, anterior and posterior Korea. Let the undercity commence. Rock and stone, baby

It would surely be much more peaceful. Let's just re-draw the borders and leave everything else. Just look at them spooning lovingly.

Israel/Palestine isn't working either, your thoughts?

How about a striped Korea instead?

English chap here: this looks like a fine idea. Nothing could go wrong.

How about stripes?

Border needs to be a straight line, as a joke

Can we get some enclaves in there to keep it spicy?

Honestly ? Not the stupidest thing I've read today...

It didn't work in Germany

It's Koreas all the way down.

Long long man DMZ.

Bold move. Next step: gerrymandering Korea.

Korea the long way.

NCD is leaking again.

I'd much rather prefer an Inner Korea and an Outer Korea

What about all? South-east Korea, South-west Korea, North-east Korea, North-west Korea.

We're stuck in a rut with cardinal directions

Let's try intercardinal directions,

Northeast Korea and Southwest Korea

East Korea gets all the disputed islands with Japan.

It works for Vietnam and Laos, and. Burma and Thailand.

Give this champ a Nobel Prize

No joke, I think hypothetically this would disturbance of, and conflict with, wildlife that have come to occupy the DMZ, most troublingly, tigers.

West Korea Best Korea

union korea and confederate korea

Let's go Roman with Ciskorea and Transkorea. Maybe it'll give Ms Rowling a stroke.

A united Korea may be one of the positive side effects of America pooping its pants and deteriorating into a has-been world power. China will have to become World Police, unless it autocrats its way into wasteland as well, but if China can set an example and take a few steps elevating liberty, it could then unseat the Kim family, and allow Korea to just be a nice high-tech industrialized nation littered with chibi animal avatars.

Because DPRK is just a mess. There's also the possibility that China facilitates an invasion of South Korea by North Korea, but Kim Il Sung's grandchildren are unlikely to be as pro-Chinese culture as he was, and zombie rulers can only have so much influence.

Or China can just annex the whole thing, which would be a dick move and expensive and result IRA like troubles (e.g. a decades long sabotage and terror campaign from an internal pro-Korea resistance.) The Daughters of Queen Min, if I were writing the story.

Babe wake up anew west coast vs east coast beef just dropped.

Does this mean Busan gets upgraded to capital city status? I think I could get behind that.

only north korea isn't working (but it's not because of the communism ofc, it's... something completely else, okay? and it isn't teh rEaL cOmMuNiSm™ anyways, because that would've definitely worked)
