I do wish finding information about them was easier. It always ends up being a game of believing either the US state department, or the DPRK. Obviously can't trust a word the US says, but I remain skeptical of what the DPRK says in a guided tour or in a glorified advertisement showing off a single new apartment building.

Would absolutely love to visit some day though. At worst, they don't live up to my expectations of a socialist paradise and are just like any other country. At best, they exceed my expectations and I become a follower of Juche. ๐Ÿ˜‚

XHS? Is this some kind of app?

Yes, the app Xiaohongshu, also known as Rednote. Although originally aimed at people in China, the app saw a brief flash of popularity in Seppoland/USA after TikTok was banned.

Seppoland has become a more and more appropriate term
