Does anyone know what happened to Korea post-1983?

 * It was briefly mentioned a while ago, basically all that was agreed on was that it escaped doomsday impact free, and that likely the north or the south invaded the other and there is likely a unified Korea at this point. What wasn't decided was who invaded who, what the outcome of that war was, who is in control, etc. I personally would think it likely that with US forces stationed there, and the sorry state of North Korea, fallout from china blowing into the north, etc. the south would emerge victorious. If this is the outcome, this would leave Korea as a major power in Asia, a world tech leader, and the major manufacturing power of the world with Japan going isolationist(Samsung, LG, Hyundai, Daewoo).--Oerwinde 10:14, January 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * Wait Korea would be impact free? I must have missed this discussion, what would be the reasons for them both being missed? There are a lot of American forces in South Korea, seems odd that they wouldn't be targets. Mitro 17:33, January 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * It wasn't a long discussion. I think its on archive page 7. Basically, someone pointed out that Korea didn't have any nuked points on the map. This was back before the map was deemed unreliable. Someone brought up that with everything else falling apart, one of the two sides would have invaded the other and Korea would likely be unified at this point. As Neither North nor South Korea have nukes, and both are pretty much concerned only with each other, the likelyhood of either being nuked didn't seem high to me. Once the idea of a unified Korean state in an impact free zone was established, Ben piped in on how it was a good idea. Then it was archived. Not a real discussion I suppose. I don't think its unrealistic that the Koreas escape impact free, for the reasons above, but a unification war would likely be long and bloody.Oerwinde 03:56, January 23, 2010 (UTC)

especially as china is described as falling completely apart--- I would think that the fall of North Korea would happen not so much from a US/south Korean invasion as from a Chinese invasion. it also says in the siberia article that one goal of the bombing of China was to maintain soviet control in the area--- with that kind of a mentality, the one US hold on that part of the continent would recieve some sort of treatment. could a community surivive---yes. will it be a Tiawan sheltered island that rebuilds "impact free". there is going to be some blood and loss of infrastucture and some hard political descisions.

Ok, previous discussion was more like the beginning of a discussion, here is what was in the archive:
