    assume South Korea. Calling it a dystopian shithole seems kinda unfair (especially when the only land border is with an actual dystopian nightmare of a country) but there is valid reason for the criticism.

    The Korean peninsula can have two dystopian shitholes, as a treat.

      Very different kinds of dystopias though. One’s basically taken right out of a cyberpunk novel with corporations ruling over an ostensibly-free populous. The other is an extreme authoritarian dictatorship where the government rules with an iron fist.
