  It takes a little creative interpretation, but some aspects of North Korea
  remind me of what it would be like if the JWs leaders ran a country.

  - The leaders rationalize their rulership with false claims about their supernatural exclusiveness.
  - The people are relatively low income.
  - Followers are told propaganda, and shown propagandistic art, about outsiders who are shunned if they break the socialization rules.
  - The political propaganda and big military threats are like the JWs leaders' propaganda about non-JWs and predictions about God causing Armageddon for them.

  I wonder if North Korea will be considered as the next King Of The North. Ever since the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991 they have not mentioned any entity as being the KOTN yet.

  The big statue in the video reminds me more of the one Ramon Salazar had made for
  himself in "Resident Evil 4."
  
  Kim, who succeeded his father, Kim Il-sung, may in turn be succeeded by a
  favourite son. David Letterman: ”North Korean dictator Kim Jung Il may be
  stepping down. Experts in the State Department say he could be replaced by his
  son, Menta Li Ill.”

  What's wrong with you? Kim is cute! He looks like a gay guy stuck in the 80's but 90 years old... very cool!

  I know you're kidding. But actually, he shares a look with Chairman Mao--see Wikipedia > Great Leap Forward. Not so cool.
