Assuming a military confrontation can be avoided, then the next step would be getting the industrial and mineral lands leased out to development corporations and try to hire as many of the N Kors as want a regular job as possible. The rest of the social structure, including the farms will have to be continued for a couple generations simply becaus that's what the people know. We might look at recent experience in Iraq and see if we have learned anything there.

I hesitate to compare Iraq to N Korea. The societies, economic structures,religions,geography, etc. are all different. Lessons will be learned from Iraq but are probably useless(nonmilitary) outside the middle east.
The natural reaction of the N Koreans to anyone in charge of their land, minerals, laws, etc will be resentment. If money could be thrown at this problem Japan would have done it years ago.
