Great Powers, which are traditionally few in number, are leading nations in the world that have a penetrating influence on global affairs. Great powers are responsible for significant blocs of power and authority, in numerous spheres such as politics, economics, social and military. Great powers have the ability to project, traditionally, throughout the world in more than just military influence. Great powers sometimes called "Global Powers" are responsible for ideological and international leadership. Great powers traditionally possess (or are very capable to possess) large armed forces and are privy to larger stocks of nuclear, chemical and biological weapons; they also have tools of projection such as aircraft carriers that permit them to influence decisions through a wide variety of diplomatic, economic and political actions.
Middle powers have the ability to focus more outwardly than small powers, they are focused still intently on their own desires and act less defensively than smaller powers but have more "wiggle room" in international affairs and opportunities. Middle powers tend to focus on neighbouring problems with an eye toward regional problems and opportunities. Middle powers tend to have more modern, moderate-sized armed forces and have a more active role in international affairs. They should not be mistaken for a regional power due to their limited power of projection to their neighbouring states but they should also not be ignored. Middle powers have the ability to band together small powers and take on a secondary role in larger alliances or friendships that provide the ability to tackle much greater problems.
Kim Il-Sung wrote:In terms of what Kyoseon has going for it, should they go on the defensive Kyoseon has an enormous militia and guerrilla system, knowledge of the land in both north and south, the ability to use weapons of mass destruction unprovoked, and in Eljang and Reunii there are plenty of Kyo nationalists that would be willing to rebel. Kazulia has the advantage in numbers and prowess. In addition, politically Kyoseon is seldom divided and usually unanimous is wanting to reunite with Eljang and Reunii.
Realistically, this would most likely end up as a stalemate or a minor Pyrrhic victory for Kyoseon. Depending on the Kyo people's willingness to fight and Kazulian military competence, it could either turn into a Korea or Vietnam. (Of course, it's important to remember that in traditional warfare Kazulia could easily repel Kyo offensives into Kazulia.)
'Kim Il-Sung wrote:All matters considered, the fate of the war is between us assuming both parties stay in power for the duration of the war. Personally, the most realistic outcome we’d most likely want to see is a somewhat phyrric victory for Kyoseon. The free city of Yonseo is established under a new blue house commission, effectively turning it into a Hong Kong-like capitalist city state. It runs all matters by itself for a 25-year long period and decides every external and internal matter independently (control of economy, foreign relations, military, etc). In addition, similarly to South Korea it conducts joint military training with Kazulia and could receive military and economic support.
The Autonomous People’s Committee for the Reunification of the Fatherland is established in the far south of Eljang and Reunii (there will be partial Kyo annexation of the northern parts).Sovereignty over the territories is returned to Kyoseon in name, but the government is forced to undergo a 15 year plan to reintegrate the economy and guarantee free immigration between Kyoseon, Kazulia, and Yonseo. Civil liberties of the Eljang and Reunii era remain in place for the 15 years, and nationalization of industries or government seizure of property must be compensated fairly under eminent domain laws.
A DMZ is set up between Kazulia and Kyoseon, with checkpoints separating the APCRF, Kyoseon, and Kazulia, to ensure immigration and travel safety. The Kyo government has to pay war reparations for 5 years (the exact amount is still to be figured out) and all captured equipment and POWs are to be returned to their respective nations.
(Also, WMDs would be removed from the scenario)
