Lowest labour cost in Asia.<p><i>Highly qualified, loyal and motivated personnel. </i>worker's will not abandon their positions for higher salaries once they are trained. <i>Lowest taxes scheme in Asia. </i>Stable <i>New market. </i>Transparant legal work.<p>Yeaa far slave labour, the most loyal workforce there ever was.

Makes you wonder: Will an investor be an unethical profiteer of slave-work or will he actually provide some sort of sanctuary since the people are usually obliged to harvest rocks?<p>Besides, I think every investment there weakens this dictatorship in the long-run.

I tried to access it here from South Korea. Got the Korean Police warning page. No go.

Might be difficult to do business there, if you try to register for a business trip, you get this stern warning:<p>"Articles not allowed in the DPRK:<p>Video-Camera, Plants, animals, drugs, explosives, weapons, any kind of pornography, mass printed propaganda, radio, wireless or satellite communicator (GPS), PDA phone, mobile phone (can be left at airport locker)."

Wow that design really brought back memories of late-90s web design with the rounded image+text buttons.<p>Too bad the site is incredibly slow. Here's a link to the cached "Travel" page: <a href="http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:http://www.korea-dpr.com/travel.htm" rel="nofollow">http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:http://...</a>

"The DPR of Korea (North Korea) will become in the next years the most important hub for trading in North-East Asia."

The "facts" on the reunification page are... interesting: <a href="http://www.korea-dpr.com/reunification.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.korea-dpr.com/reunification.htm</a><p>It's so far out there, I become suspicious that this is a joke. But then, most of the news I hear from N. Korea falls into that category.

They have a link to "forum" but fittingly it's actually just a wordpress blog with all comments disabled.
