We are a country cut off from the outside world by three things: the administration, the outside world and the people themselves. Firstly, we have a successful system of governance that controls the media efficiently. Secondly, the outside world punishes the regime by closing relations with us. Thirdly, the citizens, largely ignorant of what is happening outside the country, develop xenophobia. This is a shame for a nation which is otherwise friendly towards foreign visitors.

If nothing is done about the situation, blind nationalism can develop which will turn the country from western nations resulting in a second North Korea.
