The most interesting country on Earth, in my opinion.
You have the Dear Leader Kim Jon Il, General Secretary of the Workers Party and, his father, the still incumbent, yet dead, President Kim Il Sung. These are the two God Leaders of North Korea whos faces are everywhere. In the model capital city, Pyongyang, there are massive roads which are almost completely deserted at all times, all citizens are forced to wear the leaders face everywhere they go and the Dear and Great Leader must be praised and thanked for everything. Every home has a picture of Jong Il and Il Sung, every kitchen has a state radio which can not be turned off and holidays are scheduled to the huge grotesque monuments to the Kim Dynasty.
It is the most isolated country on earth and, so, it is also the most different.
Tourists homes are bugged, they are followed around both by 'guides' and undercover agents at all times, massive amounts of largely inedible food is layed out for them and everywhere they go there are staged encounters and barefaced lies.
