Will North Korea come under the control of South Korea in 2009?
Question created by
Background: North Korean leader Kim Jong-il's apparently serious illness has breathed new life into long-dormant plans from regional powers to prepare for when he loses his iron grip on power in the communist state. If Kim Jong-il's government suddenly collapsed, Seoul would try to establish an emergency headquarters in the North to rebuild its broken economy, Reuters reported here http://www.reuters.com/article/worldNews/idUSTRE4A52QV20081106 . Possible scenarios in the event of his death are discussed here http://www.reuters.com/article/worldNews/idUSTRE4A52QX20081106.
Settlement details:This question will settle as "yes" if South Korea takes day-to-day control of the North, either on its own or as part of a coalition.
