Just imagine.

You live in a country, not just a country, a powerful nation with an even superior armed forces.  Such pride your nationality cannot be greater.  Prosperity is spoken at all corners of the country, even though you’re eating bread crumbs and brown water, it means that you are a person of great strength, sacrificing the self for the greater prosperity of the country.  You see evidence of the greatness all around, through posters and pictures and sketches and on the radio and on tv.  The rest of the world envies the vast opulence of your great nation.

You and your fellow citizens are under an amazing leadership, one who fights for the rights of the nation in the global community.  He is charismatic, charming, full of innovative ideas far too great for a normal man, even after his death you give him the title of “eternal president.”  His successor is just as great, fighting for the reunification with its weaker southern half constantly resorting to fight off any attempts for peace.  It is an insubordinate country but with the great mercy of the leader does your great nation not destroy that small piece of land in hopes of unification.  He is adorned with many gifts by the leaders of other nations, proudly agreeing that your leader is the greatest.  And rightly so.

You see his name all around, statues abound, giving glory to him.  His attempts at unifying would be so great if the southern, weaker half would break down its wall that acts a border to your lands.  They lie and contort the truth claiming that they cannot take down a wall that does not exist.  Clearly they are in the wrong because your leader is an upholder of truth and a servant to the people.  If only those pesky Americans had not dirtied the south with its armies and evil thinking, you would already be in a unified country.  The south is suffering, and you know it because the Americans spread convoluted propaganda about your nation and threaten the lives of those trying to escape that wretched southern hellhole.

You are strong, but as a nation you are unstoppable.  You live without electricity, only because of the generosity of the leader to share its resources with its struggling half after the war.  You bring out the best in the nation, a proud citizen.  Your leader is the paradigm of the ideal that you will strive to.

You are part of a superpower nation.

You are the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.

Long live the Leader!
