Wow. Are they serious with this?

About the exports they claim to do, it would be pretty fun to own a north korean motorbike.

Wow that design really brought back memories of late-90s web design with the rounded image+text buttons.

Too bad the site is incredibly slow. Here's a link to the cached "Travel" page: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:http://...

Lowest labour cost in Asia.

Highly qualified, loyal and motivated personnel. worker's will not abandon their positions for higher salaries once they are trained. Lowest taxes scheme in Asia. Stable New market. Transparant legal work.

Yeaa far slave labour, the most loyal workforce there ever was.

The "facts" on the reunification page are... interesting: http://www.korea-dpr.com/reunification.htm

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.

The site has been widely reported and officially confirmed elsewhere. But as you say, it's such a ridiculous country that it's likely impossible to parody in any meaningful way.

One of the things the internet allowing people to broadcast their messages free from editorial interference proves is that some people really are so "out there" as to render most attempts at parody redundant. See also godhatesfags.com and your average conspiracy theorist's home page.

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

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?

Besides, I think every investment there weakens this dictatorship in the long-run.

Might be difficult to do business there, if you try to register for a business trip, you get this stern warning:

"Articles not allowed in the DPRK:

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)."

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

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