Yep, lots of land, pretty moutainous vistas, and we'll cut a discount on account of the horrible lack of proper infrastructure! What a bargain, sign here!

  • Make myself temporary dictator of the country with the stipulation that I will be giving up power once we reunify with SK or transition our government to a constitutional republic
  • Make a deal with the US and SK ending the Korean War with the stipulation that the US must remove all military forces other than advisers from the Korean Peninsula and have food and medicine imported into the country. I'd use the NK nuclear weapon and missile programs as a bartering chip for this.
  • Reduce NK military spending to where our military is about the same size as SK's
  • Use the freed up money to work on creating a food program so NK can feed itself
  • Slowly ease the NK economy into a free market
  • Have a public vote on if NK should remain an independent nation or they should reunite with SK

If they choose to reunite with SK:

  • I would work with SK in transferring control of government functions in NK to SK

If they choose to stay independent:

  • Draft a Constitution and Bill of Rights for the people, allow it to be ratified by popular vote
  • Have elections for a Congress
  • Have elections for Head of State/Head of Government and I'd hand control of the country over to the new government
  • Depending on how things turn out, I may stay in NK or move back to the US

Wouldn't it just be easier to point out that I am of Korean descent?

At any rate:

  • First of all, I would probably try and make DPRK some sort of technocracy as a transition between dictatorship and democracy: hire in engineers, scientists, economists, social scientists, etc. as civil servants and as advisors.
  • Sign a Peace Treaty with the South, and try and turn the DMZ into a National Park.
  • De-brainwash North Korea's citizens of the Kims' Cult of Personality and open their eyes to the fact that they were the ones that ruined their country.
  • Introduce welfare and other ways for the people to become prosperious.
  • Introduce private enterprise and free market to some extent to get the economy going.
  • Try and stimulate agriculture and food growth.
  • Dismantle the army to the point that it's only a national defence force, and possibly a gendarmery.
  • Assuming that I haven't horribly fucked up the country in ways I haven't forseen at this point, I would probably make the transition to a social democracy: introduce democratic reforms, make an actual parliament where people can elect representatives, create a universal healthcare plan and government regulations on tax.
  • If possible, reunify with the South.

Start MMO terrorism acts against South Korea. Host gaming tournaments and attempt to dethrone South Korea.

Apply the classic South American bailout program. Get loads of cash, send them over to a bank in sweden, dissapear from the national radar and let the whole place crumble after striking a deal with SK to let them take over the whole thing. They will probably do better things with the whole country than I ever would.

Meanwhile, enjoy life as a rich guy with a beautiful North Korean Wife.

I would turn the country into the world's largest GI JOE cosplay with myself as Cobra Commander and the military as the Viper Corps.
