Lets face it though, North Korea would have very little to do. They are kind of beholden to the Chinese. Maybe not de-jure, but certainly de-facto.

I was under the impression from the lore summaries that North Korea was already independent, albeit in pacts and economic treaties with the Chinese. Granted, there really isn't much about the Koreas in the lore summaries, so I'm kind of working with what I'm being presented here.
