Hypothetical: South Korea absorbs North Korea

[Dewey_Finn]

Here’s what I said in the other topic, just as this was being split off.

@Dewey_Finn

There’s an obvious comparison to the re-unification of Germany, which I think cost the former West Germany vast amounts to bring the former East Germany forward. And yet, it was desired, I think. Why wouldn’t South Korea similarly desire re-unification? One reason they might is the population of South Korea is shrinking rapidly, especially young people, so an infusion of people from the north might be a good thing.
