Topic	Snake Ranks Anything Horror Related Vol. 4 RANKINGS
Snake5555555555 11/16/19 3:05:38 PM #300:	16. North Korea (22 points) Nominated by: trdl23 (0/5 remaining) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Korea Importance: 10 Fear: 8 Snake: 4 I honestly considered disqualifying this nomination at first, as it definitely feels weird to call a country, with real people in it going through whatever they're going through, "horror-related". But, as I thought about it, with North Korea having the worst human rights violation record in the world, and so many despicable, cruel, and downright strange stories surrounding the country, North Korea sadly does fit this topic all too well. Seeing any pictures of malnourished children and adults, cramped and crumbling living conditions, or victims of brutal prison camps is enough to make any person sick to their stomach. But that's only scratching the surface. Freedoms we take for granted everyday are practically non-existent in NK; there is only limited internet and your day-to-day routine is practically automated, with allotted food and forced labor leaving little room for anything leisure-related. Like some kind of futuristic dystopia, apparently the same song plays every morning as people leave for work and school, which has to be some surreal experience to say the least. On a more global school, NK's possession of nuclear weapons has always been a troubling notion. Sure, they've been on the butt end of some jokes, but in reality, it's not much of a laughing matter. I don't want to speculate too much since I don't live there and could never really know what it's like unless experienced first-hand, but I think there's enough proof anyway to make a reasonable observation that life in NK is not very comfortable, to put out an understatement. However, I'm sure there are people there who genuinely love NK, even as it is with obviously a majority who would want to see it be better, and I definitely don't doubt there are millions of amazing, talented, and good-natured people who reside there and make the most of what they have. After all, it's easy to focus on the bad parts, but more often, I'd love to see more of the good as well. --- What I am about to do has not been approved by the Vatican. https://imgur.com/MmrKwGZ - https://imgur.com/ntWVGyh <cite>Snake5555555555 posted [p:930227474] in Snake Rank...
