[edit] North Korea - The Score
North Korea is with a doubt the most hideous personification of evil since The Fall of Lucifer.
It is acknowledged not only as a Founder Member of the Axis_of_Evil but they also made the t-shirts for the rest of the group to wear.
It is rightly regarded by the Western World as a thoroughly unpleasant country, full of nasty freedom fighters whose sole aim in life is to import porn into Finland to gain some hard Western currency.
[edit] International Pariah
- Risking arrest, imprisonment, and deportation, tens of thousands of North Koreans cross into China to escape famine, economic privation, and political oppression.
