As we all know, on January 5th, 1992, Kim Il Sung would declare himself God-King of North Korea(technically all Korea, but we all know the South never listened to him). This of course had some rather.... interesting effects as we know, Juche would be transformed into a full on religion, political instability would rock the country for the remainder of the decade, and most importantly, China would move in on March 19th, 1998 and annex the North Korean controlled portion of the Tumen River, effectively pushing North Korea away from China and back into Russia's sphere. What I'm curious about is, what if Sung never did this, how might the North be today, and what would its relations with China and the west be?
