Yeah George Bush nuked them ages ago but Haliburton et al. are keeping the ghost of North Korea alive for propaganda purposes....

Nah, they're just going through an ice age.

mast3r · 27 Jul 2010 at 15:21

But what if your right!!! Google is allways 100% and Google says NK is empty, blank, GONE

I wonder with all that space, why they placed the words 'North Korea' where they did.

Not on Bing Maps it isn't!

We never launched coverage in some countries because we simply weren't satisfied with the map data we had available. We're constantly searching for the best map data we can find, and sometimes will delay launching coverage in a country if we think we can get more comprehensive data.

Am I the only one that chuckled at dandong?

Thats rather a polite way of saying that north korea wont let us in. They are probably scared that we will find all their super high tech and definitely space worthy satellites. Is that thing still "broadcasting".

Just use Bing maps instead:

All the detail you want.

They painted everything white and if you zoom right in to where it says North Korea you'll see 8 Million North Koreans all dressed in black all lined up perfectly to make the words North Korea! Amazing!

Taking the most eastern, northern, western and southern points of the country and making a square based on them, would the writing be right I the middle?
Random guess by me!
