I like to think of South Korea as a nation state, gripped by such fear-of-the-other, that they'll agree to any irrational suggestions their military advisors might make.

So then, 10 or 20 years ago, when the NSA needed a secret laboratory to experiment in, where they could blunder away at trial and error, perhaps a huge wind tunnel to test the aerodynamics of this bird, well South Korea sounds pretty good. Let's see if the pentagon can get them to agree to a few absurd pre-requisites and static global variables, while we bootstrap this absolutely enourmous program we're shoe-horning into place.
