      i think the whole hermit kingdom we will kill you and your entire family, plus sentence you to forty years for forced labor is going to be a more impactful difference between north korea, and literally anywhere else in the world.

      There are a couple fundamental differences between the US and North Korea - in NK, you can’t travel without governmental approval and also you get shot if you try to leave.

      In the US, you can walk to a different state if you so desire (or drive or fly, but those require gov’t ID) and the only thing you need to have if you want to leave the country is paperwork that the other country accepts.

      I wouldn’t be surprised if there were more fundamental differences between the two countries, but those are two big ones that I thought of off the top of my head.
