Urge to bomb Cambodia increasing...
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.
We should simply send Japan in to take over the island
That's not a problematic thing to say, right? No historical reason why it would make Koreans incredibly angry?
We should simply send Japan in to take over the island
Already done. Tho idk how that helps the peninsula.
Political compass Korea
Divide it into 9 bits and get alignment Korea.

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.
Let's split the difference and have some Brits redraw the lines at random, they're great at it!
Where in England are you from?
What if it's upper and lower Korea? Everything above the average elevation of Korea is upper, the rest is lower
it's over, kim! we have the high ground!
You guys can be Korea 1, we will be Korea A.
It didn't work in Germany
obviously because Germany should have done North Germany and South Germany

Oh, so germany is korea now?
Wtf is that second map?! Krefeld?! Mühlacker?! Eilenburg?! Bad Düben?!
What about all? South-east Korea, South-west Korea, North-east Korea, North-west Korea.
English chap here: this looks like a fine idea. Nothing could go wrong.
Honestly ? Not the stupidest thing I've read today...
West Korea, best Korea
How about a striped Korea instead?
lol ... Polka Dot Korea
Then again ... isn't that known as electoral districts in the United States
No we do fractal districts. They get ever more detailed as you zoom in to them. Their border length is theoretically infinite.
The gerrymandered border slicing through an American's house to isolate its occupants into different districts
It would surely be much more peaceful. Let's just re-draw the borders and leave everything else. Just look at them spooning lovingly.
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!

How about stripes?
West Korea Best Korea
It works for Vietnam and Laos, and. Burma and Thailand.
And germany
Nah, anterior and posterior Korea. Let the undercity commence. Rock and stone, baby
No joke, I think hypothetically this would disturbance of, and conflict with, wildlife that have come to occupy the DMZ, most troublingly, tigers.
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.
if China can set an example and take a few steps elevating liberty,

Israel/Palestine isn't working either, your thoughts?
Parael and Isletine
Is-Raël (of the Raëliens) and East Palestine, Ohio
That way everybody is only mildly miserable like the rest of us instead of fully miserable.

Get rid of the billionaire financiers running the West Bank. Henceforth, it's the West Credit Union.
Looks similar to Norway and Sweden 😄
It's Koreas all the way down.
