Hong Kong didn't become that way from being ruled by a "coalition of nations". That would pretty much guarantee failure. Hong Kong got the way it is by less governing and allowing private enterprise a greater hand. Guantanamo Bay could become another Hong Kong by simply allowing business to operate at favorable tax rates with little government interference. The more "governing" that goes on, the less success there will be. “city-scale administrative zones governed by a coalition of nations.”

Are there laws in South Korea banning the display of North Korean emblems? I also wonder if his Kim badge is a photo of himself. It's just a face cut out of a photo on a plain white background.
