Yei, we'll never have New Seoul !

[yin26]

LOL! Yes, if we don't mind using the names used within the cities, I think we'll never see New Seoul. I kind of like the -gu, etc., extensions. Adds a nice flavor to the game.

You'll also notice, though, some of the cities use district names like "North" "South" "East" "West," etc. So you can't use those more than once, I suppose, unless you run the whole city + district name together. At any rate, still more than enough to work with, I think. And if we add North Corea here ...

[Q Classic]

thanks, yin! very comprehensive list. i'll be trying to rank them by population soon... or be trying to.

the city list, edited again. I won't use the provinces, or the other divisions, just cities (yin, my extended family lives in Ch'ongju-si, Heungduk-gu... next time i'm there, i may give you a ring. won't be there for a while, but...). the methodology follows as: capitals ranked first, then the city-states, then province capitals, then the cities i've heard of, then other cities.

i've decided to keep the -si designator (literally means "city"), but i'm going to remove the "kwang yuk" or "deuk byul" additions for seoul and the other city-states, so everything will be "-si".

in terms of romanization and pronunciation, however, i'm torn between leaving it as "-si" or "-shi" which is closer to how it should be pronounced...

on another note, this is what i've found in terms of provinces for nkorea/ncorea, and cities within those provinces; these will not be following the mccune-reischauer, or moe systems; i'm using a system that i think more closely follows m-r, but since i don't have the chart commited to memory, and i'm doing this straight from korean...:
