North Korea is an Orwellian theme park.
Few are allowed to enter the country, those that are allowed have to stay in bugged rooms and must be followed by North Korean "guides" at all times, you are forced to visit the tourist landmarks that the government wants, you cannot travel on your own, you cannot talk to ordinary people, and you cannot cross any border by land, sea or air without explicit government permission.
Ordinary North Koreans are not even allowed to leave their city without a special pass, and most beaches are surrounded by electrified barbed wire to prevent people from escaping by sea. Despite all these restrictions, hundreds of North Korean refugees manage to cross into China every year, though many of them end up dying of hunger, freezing to death, captured by border guards, or captured by Chinese authorities and repatriated to their homeland, where torture and labour camps await them dissidents.
I wish I was kidding.
