Korean Reunification (Eugene.bae.902)

Overview
After a series of negotiations, North and South Korea have agreed to start a Korean Reunification that will culminate by 2045. Once Korea is reunified, Korea will turn into a neutral buffer state between China and the U.S. Military Forces in Japan. A unified Korea will be nicknamed the “Switzerland of East Asia”, due to its neutrality. The U.S. Forces will be withdrawn from the Korean Peninsula save for some in Jeju-do. Korea will also become a most, strongest and powerful neutral country that will help restore stability and peace in Asia, while the U.S. begins to benefit from a reunified Korea's help. A peace treaty is signed between North and South Korea, and many years later in 2045, the Korean Reunification has completed.
