If and when we create, for instance, Category:Virginians, I think the fact that it's in the Characters by Nationality category, plus a thorough description we would write explaining that we're only applying it to DSA, would clear most ambiguity. Maybe the category could be called "Virginians (DSA)" to give further clarification. That wouldn't work for the RQ since it exists in several timelines (though come to think of it I'm not entirely sure we have any Quebecois characters from any of those timelines other than 191).

The thing about a Koreans category is, Koreans of that generation widely expressed an almost rabid nationalism in response to Japanese colonialism. Only staunch Communists on the one hand and partisans of Synghman Rhee's governing coalition on the other saw the 38th parallel as anything but an arbitrary distinction and, hopefully, a temporary setback to reunification. They self-identified as Koreans and nothing but. The war changed that, but not till it had dragged on a couple of years.
