I mean sure, some people make it out of North Korea. A lot are publicly executed to be made an example of too.

I think you fail to understand the power of a true authoritarian government, particularly if they can monitor and limit your access to the outside world.

* Use a VPN, you're guilty of Treason.

* Use a currency other than the North Korean won, you're guilty of treason.

* Use an electronic device other than state sponsored devices, you're guilty of treason.

All executions will be recorded for posterity and broadcast to the people as a reminder of the power of the state.
