The North and South know that unity is not desirable right away. The North's leadership doesn't want to give up power, so there is no need to talk about some unity happening and 15-20 years of modernisation. What we can possibly expect is the opening of trade relations, a peace agreement, more South Korean factories and aid and hopefully an emerging middle class in North Korea and eventually moving along the same path as the Chinese. North Korea won't want a very fast change. The leadership seems to want to open up but slowly.

The most recent Time magazine had a good article about the state of foreign investment in NK. The Northern economy is still so far away from the level of the South, it's ridiculous. Even if the borders opened today, it would be 15 or 20 years before the North Koreans could have any semblance of a modern lifestyle. The entire infrastucture is like something from the 1950's or 60's. They're gonna be a third-world, developing country during our lifetimes. That's just the way that Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il have made it with their totalitarian leadership.

The comment about all of the girls running south to marry rich South Koreans was pretty funny...I wonder if the local adjossis would find them as subservient as the Vietnamese, Philippinos, et al?

They would. And that's precisely why S Korean men would want them. Especially the hick farmers to the south. They can save money on a huge dowry while keeping 'pure' Korean blood 'pure'. SK women are too liberated and needy.

NK economy would certainly rise. It has nowhere to go but up. 'Made in Korea' might become the new 'Made in China' as far as product safety issues. NK people are a bunch of brainwashed dunces. It'll take 20 or more years of re-education to undo what they know now.
