#2 Yeah...30-40 years. That assumes they're not rebuilding Seoul over the radioactive remains of the previous Seoul. 30-40 years...ha. Germany is 20 years into it and they're still having huge integration problems in the East.

#6 Doesn't hurt that China and Japan are going to face a massive demographic problem soon. If the North heads out as migrant workers and the South continues an industrial economy and exploiting resources in the North they might do very well.

Then again the North might just implode and take the neighborhood with it.
