[QUOTE=MegaJohnny;20251917]It's pretty laughable how the propaganda still tries to claim North Korea is a "democratic people's republic". I knew there was a dictator in charge keeping his people down but I'd never have thought it was so broken down as a nation.[/QUOTE]

Sickening isn't it? The aid that is given to NK that is meant for those children get sent to the military and then the rest is sold on the black market.

Then all the good producing farmland in NK (what little there is of it) is used to produce illegal drugs instead of food.
This is why people are starving to death and shoveling clods of dirt into their mouths
THE OP IS LIKE ENTIRELY MADE UP North Korea is crappy and I am by no means defending it but my god do you people even make a shred of effort to think critically about anything that enters your heads do you know anything about the world oh my god

By law you are required to have a portrait of the Leader in your house. If it is dirty, you are probably getting sent off to a prison camp. If you are lucky enough to own a TV, the only thing on is a looped propaganda broadcast of Kim Jong-Il. Music is also banned.[/QUOTE]
[URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_of_North_Korea"]Music is not banned[/URL]
[URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_of_North_Korea#Television_and_radio"]The TV stations are government owned and there is obviously a lot of propaganda, but there is still a variety of programming[/URL]
I could find nothing indicating that there are laws in place requiring you to have a portrait of anyone nor to have a clean house. Why would they spend resources on JAILING people with dirty houses

The above picture was taken from a satellite. As you can see, North Korean power is very reliable and plentiful!! (not really). The people there constantly are starving. There have even been reports of cannibalism. The average NKoreaner earns[B] $2 USD per month[/B].

Pyongyang has a Metro!
It only works when there are visitors in the country and only has 2 nice stations on which guests may travel (the rest are 1.7 meter high concrete tunnels with no lighting)

Also here are some testimonies from NK prison camp survivors. The acts and conditions described are enough to even make Hitler blush.

The fact alone that there is a wiki site that I can shortly scroll on my netbook about the "music of north korea" is symptomatic for the situation of musical culture in that country.
64$ is still almost nothing and I think you should read the articles you just linked.
5th or 4th largest doesn't make any significant difference considering that the country is damn small.
In short. you are a nitpicker.(and so am I)

I was aware that they were constantly brainwashed and had poor living conditions and they were completely disconnected from the rest of the world.
North Korea is fascinating but fucked up at the same time.
I just watched the last of those videos and holy shit, NK is really a time machine.
