North Korea and its website.

Yeah, it's genuine. Apparently the economy doesn't allow for lighting of the same scope as South Korea.

Quite incorrect. According to google (http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/maps/thread?tid=428921feb25a5c58&hl=en):

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.

Simply put, google maps do not cover NK. Bing seems to have better coverage of it. Therefore the map/picture posted is misleading.

I'm fascinated by North Korea. Some of the links in other threads are eye opening to say the least.

I thought I'd check google maps and the entire country is blank. I know they are a communist state but it would be very interesting to view the country from above :)

Turn on satelite view and you can see pretty much all of it. I'm surprised at the lack of light since some of the cities look pretty big. There are a few odd things here and there though... Does anyone want to guess what's going on here?

That's a huge amount of roofs packed into such a small space!
 
11. I want to know why North Korea has nuclear weapons.

After the US failed to fulfill the terms in the Agreed Framework by supplying two light-water reactors to the DPRK as compensation for the discontinuing of Korean nuclear power, the DPRK withdrew in October 2002 from the NPT and thus restarted its own energy-producing program, and then started to recycle spent fuel-rods.

The DPRK has a nuclear deterrence as a life-insurance to protect the motherland.........

Speaks volume.

Then again i'm sure every country on the planet has a nuclear 'deterrent' as insurance.
