Maybe Dubai? That's a very cultured city.. atleast now-a-days xD
I doubt they're gonna add a city from an existing country that uses the name (i.e St. Louis)

Are you seriously trying to downplay China's scientific prowess while trying to pump up Korea's?
Your justification being that China makes poor quality products nowadays?

Even though the Arabs may have stagnated, their list of inventions and scientific accomplishments dwarf those of Korea.

In fact, you could make a solid argument for Korea being in the bottom 5 as far as Civ rankings scientific wise, for Civs found in Civilization 5 to date.
Interesting...Thor you are Chinese aren't you?
Whenever there is mention of China you jump up and try to defend China with your life. No wonder you always try to down grade Korea. Small country like Korea being praise by others makes you upset? Jealousy is a really bad thing...Anyway buddy, stop trolling in threads related to Korea...It really makes you a sad person...If only mod knows you mainly trolling around in Korea related threads...

Moderator Action: Reopened, but a few things to remember:
- This thread is not a pissing contest. It is not about whether Korea is worthy of a place in the game, or whether China or Poland are 'better' than Korea, however you may define that. Make sure you keep your posts directly related to Civ5 and potential Korean DLC, which is what this thread is about.
- Do not personally attack other members. If you have a problem with a post, report it, don't feel the need to respond.

Sigh, yes another political battle over Korea, courtesy of one particular poster. Oh dear. Nonetheless, I think that people speculating over Korea's UA and UUs does show a great deal of interest in Korea, and the fact that we're speculating days in advance should be a sign to Firaxis that a slight trickle of info about the Korea DLC wouldn't hurt. 
Anyway, I think they could replace the Seoul CS with Hong Kong or Kuala Lumpur (if they aren't already in), as the music would fit them a bit better. I'm not entirely sure if Firaxis plans to make new city-state "sting" music, but that would be more appropriate, and not take too many resources to do.
One of the sad things about having a CS vanish from the game is that the Civilopedia entry also vanishes. So the fun-to-read Seoul CS text vanishes. I don't think there's a way to keep it in the game, right?

Kuala Lampur is in, iirc. My suggestion in the past was Angkor as a city state (I don't think Khmer will be added, since they have Siam, so a city state would be nice).

kuala lumpur is definitely in game, but hong kong seems like a like great replacement....
I better read up on the civilopedia on Seoul before its gone.

I agree with Hong Kong.

Hong Kong is already in as a Chinese city

Is it?
Is it towards the end of the Chinese list or the beginning.
It shouldn't be that much of a problem, since Honolulu is a city for both America and Polynesia.

I don't think Hong Kong is in the game....if it is, I haven't seen it. *blink*
Taiwan if nothing else can work, I suppose.
I wonder what the Korea leader music will be!

Taiwan is not a city, it is an island. Perhaps you meant Taipei?
That would certainly annoy the Chinese government to have Taipei as an independent city state. Likely they would have to edit that in a special Chinese version.
Mind you, they had Lhasa and it didn't seem to cause an uproar as far as I know.
Anyway, Taipei is in the Chinese city list so I think the point is moot.

I would personally suggest Kabul. A city that is reputedly over 5,000 years old and has been independent for a very large portion of that deserves a spot. It's been fought over by countless empires as well. Seems to fit in very well with the designer's vision for city states.

If Tapei or Hong Kong were City States, they'd have to change it for the Chinese version. I'm sure they have enough problems with Lhasa. I think the Asian Tigers aren't going to be fully represented.
As for Kabul or Bactria, it's a possibility, just keep in mind it's got to be a Cultural City State. There are some cool cultural icons in Afghanistan (some of which have been blown up by the Taliban), so it's not out of the realm of possibility. Just make sure not to suggest any random important city.

It's not about suggesting a random important city. It would be easy enough to change Edinburgh to a cultural city state and then make Kabul a militaristic one.
Kabul could easily be a cultural city state as well, as you mentioned.

Bactria/Bactra/Balkh would be an excellent addition as well. It certainly would be considered cultural.

EDIT: However, upon further review, Bactra and Kabul are both on the Persian city list. So never mind.

Dubai is an excellent idea to replace Seoul.
