Facts about NK:
1) Travel within the country is strictly monitored; for example to leave Fenyang to visit relatives outside the city you need to write a formal request and get it approved.
2) There is no internet, no tv, no radio, no magazines -> no outside news except for what the government provides. If you're caught listening to international radio, reading or owning a international newspaper or magazine, you will get shot or go to prison (same thing really)
3) Every household has a radio which plays propaganda messages 24/7. That radio can't be turned off, only lower the volume so you can sleep.
4) You cannot express your thoughts in public, treason gets you executed and the term "treason" is at the officials discretion (mainly if an officer doesn't like your face, he can get you killed pretty easy).
Except for those facts, life is peachy in NK.
AlinNae kinda exaggerated. The communist Romania wasn't anything like NK. Sure we had restrictions but not to that extent. Nobody was starving and everyone had a house and job. We had no real connection to the outside world or with products made outside the communist block. But it was better than NK...
