==North & South Korea==
What are we going to do with these countries?  One idea that I had was going for symbols to represent Korea being divided between Communism and Capitalism, but the problem with that would be coming up with a Pokémon that can represent capitalism (we already have Grumpig for User Communist).  At the moment, I picked Laturn to represent North Korea because the North Korea Coat of Arms has a hydroelectric plant on it.  The South Korean Coat of arms has a [[wp:taeguk|taeguk]] symbol and five stylized petals of a [[wp:Hibiscus syriacus|Hibiscus syriacus]].
