"More prosperous" means absolutely nothing historically or ethically, or worse it typically means "aligned with imperialist hegemons".

"Neither" is also an acceptable answer.

I appreciate your honesty in admitting that you consider human well-being to be irrelevant!

What a pointlessly hostile and asshole way to make your point! Did it feel good? I'll try to refrain from doing the same.

What "prosperity" means in this context is typically just amassed wealth and GDP, which says nothing about how well the population is actually doing.

Under which definition of prosperity (whether that being the well-being of the population or "alignment with imperial powers") is North Korea doing better?

You made it sound like the answer depends on the definition of "prosperity" so I'm wondering under which definition the answer would be different.
