Look Who's Open for Business

If only Orwell were around to see this...

I am surprised I didn't hear about the official website of the DPRK before. I have no idea when this site came up... it has probably been around forever. Shame it took me so long to get to it.

(The following is best read with 'We are Family' by Sister Sledge playing in the background.)



a) We're Open for Business!
  • 'Know How' sounds like our Middle Names: "The business center is composed by DPRK Government Officials, with more than 15 years experience and experts in the fields of foreign relations, international trade and banking. "
  • Only the most effecient workers:"Lowest labour cost in Asia."
  • Till Death do Them Part: (My favourite) "Education, housing and health service is provided free to all citizens. As opposed to other Asian countries, worker's will not abandon their positions for higher salaries once they are trained."
  • Get Straight To Business: "All business made directly with the government, state-owned companies. No middle agents."
  • Open All Year Round: "IKBC organizes exclusive business trips every year."

b) They've got uber-cool guided tours.
  • Exclusive safaris: "To experience North Korea outside the tourist trail and have interaction with North Korean citizens first hand."
  • Where No Non Korean Has gone Before: "A visitor joining the KFA Delegation is not treated as a tourist but as a friend of the DPRK, having access to places, information, insights and events not allowed for regular visitors"
  • No Yanks Allowed: "All Passports except USA"
c) Shake that hot commie thing: Official (comm)iStore
d) Club DPRK: Friends for Life!
  • Don't be a Dork: Get a KFA card NOW!
  • "Get access to internal KFA meetings and privileged discounts in KFA Delegations. "
  • "Anytime you can also confirm identity and position of other members by sending an e-mail with its barcode to korea@korea-dpr.com"
No, we ain't your regular Mickey Mouse Organization!













We ARE THE DPRK!
