    They had embassies? I figured their diplomats would defect at the first chance, as long as their families were with them.

      Defect to the NK friendly country their embassy is in? I’m not sure how that would play out. They would probably just get deported back to NK where they will be punished. I’d bet a nickel that the diplomats are heavily watched as well.

        Says one of the embassies was in Spain, so that wouldn’t be bad. I doubt they can travel with their families though for that exact reason.

      You can be a refugee in a new country or part of the elite 1% in your home country. Probably an easy choice for most of them.

      Iirc that means 3 generations of your extended family must be put into labor camps.

      And they use their diplomatic immunity to deal meth and spread counterfeit money to get some cash for their war machine.

      It’s not run by normal people, it’s the elite and defecting would lose the status for all the family up to the 100th generation
