Couldn't help myself, had to let it hang - but for people who might actually be interested in the answer (or more generally how to answer such vapid questions)...goes like this.
NK lacks sufficient arable land or long enough growing seasons to support itself -and- is wholly reliant on imported inputs to squeeze out what little it can. Additionally, the last great famine (cause by precisely these two factors) reduced the number and health of the current working age cohort right when they were needed and at just about the same time as the worst harvests in decades were recorded. The government fails to adequately address this, prioritizing defense spending and clannish grift. So there's just no universe in which the pariah state with it's mad king can avoid starvation. They're dealing with the limits of land and labor and the regime exacerbates this problem with policies and positions that have caused a downward spiral of economic isolation which has never will never and can never facilitate a solution.
Since you're committed to your idiotic routine...I know there aren't any dragons in nk because the nkians would have eaten them all by now, if there were.
