Let me be optimistic and say yes. The Kim dynasty will weaken at some point and people will rise up as they did in eastern Germany.

200 years is a looooong time in this day and age - it will be an even longer time 200 years from now. I'd say there's a pretty good chance that within 200 years it will have gotten back together and then split apart again.

In 200 years, I think it is not unlikely that there will be a pan-asia or pan-world gov't. It feels like societal changes accelerate with our changes in technology, and think to 200 years ago. Colonies, empires, smaller states, etc.

Then again in 200 years it is not unlikely that we are living in a post-apocalyptic world with no gov't to speak of.

200 years is forever.

That's impossible. No one can give more than one hundred percent. By definition that is the most anyone can give.

Excellent point.

I don't think it will be United - it will still be called Korea.

I think I would like to place a large bet that they will be united. If this happens during my lifetime, I collect. If not, I'll pay up in 2210.

That map helped me with a little history. I had thought that Norway and Sweden were a united Kingdom in 1810 but that came about a little later. Norway was owned, or whatever, by Denmark then. Hence the same colors for them.
