The Kingdom of Romania?
monarchist because only the kim family has been incharge and will be incharge
This isn't true, though. The government of the DPRK has a far more distributed level of power, and the Kims in government have been elected for their positions.
"have been elected" so, say hitler put up election booths with his and 3 random peoples names he also scheduled elections if anyone voted against him, theyd be punished would that make Nazi Germany a democracy?
None of that is applicable to the DPRK, so I don't see the purpose of your fanfiction.
that is though, you have proof its not?
Do you have proof it is?
the DPRK controls all the information coming in and out of it, so almost no "proof" can be acquired. This is why the DPRK is believed to be bad as no country does this for a good reason
Oh so you just imagined it so and thus it must be so.
I don't know I think restricting information and intel from spreading to the power that tried to exterminate them occupied half their country, then isolated them from the world in an almost medieval siege warfare attempt to starve them out and remains at war with them is a pretty good reason to be more enclosed but I guess you just know better.
Several times in this thread, such as here. Where's your proof?
the "proof" generated via tourists or visits to the DPRK is not proof at all because they were seeing what the DPRK wanted them to see
Remember the young teen that was delivered to the US in critical condition from a labor camp and died after "stealing a poster" with no proof other than a grainy cctv tape that didnt even show his face nor identifying features?
That's not what I was referencing, I was referencing Professor Roland Boer's work. As for Otto Warmbier, his parents denied an autopsy, and he was arrested not just for stealing a sign, but veering off the tourist path into a restricted millitary-controlled zone to do so. He apologized to the DPRK, was treated in one of the DPRK's better hospitals after contracting botulism, and the parents denied an autopsy that would have provided definitive proof backing the "DPRK tortured him to death" narrative.
