We can play this either way. Either make a team of 12 Korean pros that you think could go toe-to-toe with the Americans or Euros this year, OR...
Make your team of anyone who is not eligible for the other two teams (ie rest of world).
For the Korean squad I like:
Inbee Park So Yeon Ryu (now #4 in the world!) Hyo Joo Kim In Gee Chun Amy Yang Mirim Lee Na Yeon Choi Sei Young Kim Ha Na Jang Jin Young Ko Chella Choi Hee Young Park (gotta have her spunk) Alternate: Bo Mee Lee
Leaving off Jung Min Lee, Sun Ju Ahn, Jiyai Shin, Inky, man... Tough choices!
For all World, I'd include:
Lydia Ko Minjee Lee Karrie Webb (she has to play it, she's earned it)
and leave off Chella, Jin Young and Bo Mee.
I feel there probably should be at least one Japanese or Thai player, but who would I leave off and who would that player be? Not sure!

This wouldn't get much traction outside of S. Korea.
It would also play 3rd fiddle to the Solheim and Int'l Crown. Money talks and unless a Korean company puts up HUGE money, players outside of Korea won't be overly interested. Likely a $3M+ purse.....$200K for each winning player, $50k each for the losers.
The global players get to show their patriotic pride playing in the Int'l Crown.

Yeah, it likely wouldn't amount to much in ratings or whatnot, but what the heck, why not dive into hypothetical once and a while.
Team Korea: Inbee Park So Yeon Ryu Hyo Joo Kim In Gee Chun Na Yeon Choi Sei Young Kim Mirim Lee Amy Yang Chella Choi Ha Na Jang JiYai Shin Sun Ju Ahn
Rest Of The World: Karrie Webb Lydia Ko Minjee Lee Julieta Grenada Mika Miyazato Shenshen Feng Teresa Lu Brooke Henderson Pornanog Phatlum Lee-Anne Pace Sakura Yokomine Erika Kikuchi Mariajo Uribe
Problem with this team is, once you get beyond five deep, it gets a little silly.

The global players get to show their patriotic pride playing in the Int'l Crown. No one is trying to make that argument, this is purely a hypothetical exercise. You know, for fun! TBH, though, the problem I have with the International Crown is that it STILL leaves too many great players out, just a different group. Especially for the deep teams like the US and Korea. And the countries like New Zealand which lack a lot of great players.
