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.

Where in England are you from?

[–] kieron115@startrek.website 9 points 2 days ago

Let's split the difference and have some Brits redraw the lines at random, they're great at it!

Wtf is that second map?! Krefeld?! Mühlacker?! Eilenburg?! Bad Düben?!

[–] Rivalarrival@lemmy.today 58 points 3 days ago (3 children)

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.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 24 points 3 days ago (1 children)

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?

[–] InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 11 points 3 days ago

Already done. Tho idk how that helps the peninsula.

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

You guys can be Korea 1, we will be Korea A.

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

[–] ksigley@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

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

[–] DJDarren@sopuli.xyz 8 points 2 days ago

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

[–] MattTheProgrammer@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

West Korea, best Korea

[–] Raiderkev@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

West Korea Best Korea

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

How about a striped Korea instead?

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

lol ... Polka Dot Korea

Then again ... isn't that known as electoral districts in the United States

[–] infinitesunrise@slrpnk.net 7 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

No we do fractal districts. They get ever more detailed as you zoom in to them. Their border length is theoretically infinite.

[–] Ashelyn@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 days ago

The gerrymandered border slicing through an American's house to isolate its occupants into different districts

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

And germany

[–] linkshulkdoingit69@lemmy.nz 3 points 2 days ago

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

[–] Dicska@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days ago

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

[–] uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

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.

How about stripes?

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 11 points 3 days ago

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

[–] WoodScientist@sh.itjust.works 11 points 3 days ago (2 children)

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!

Looks similar to Norway and Sweden 😄

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

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

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 30 points 3 days ago

Parael and Isletine

[–] Gork@sopuli.xyz 12 points 3 days ago (3 children)

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.
