A North Korean Jeager would be well beyond the suspension of disbelief.
What would be more believable would be either "North Korea" not existing as a country anymore or their propagandists saying "We're currently building a Jeager, we just can't show it to you yet because it's not ready. But when it IS ready, it's going to be the best Jeager ever and save the world, and then you puny nations will finally realize the glory that is North Korea!"

Now I totally wouldn't mind that gag on the movie. Like, each country announcing its jaeger, but when it comes to North Korea, they throw that excuse.

"All you Fascists bound to lose."No, no, no, Brazilian Jaeger.
He could play football/soccer with Kaiju's heads.
"All you Fascists bound to lose."EDIT: Posted before double-checking posters. I was complaining about the lack of ranged weapons on the Jaegers, but then I noticed that the Striker Eureka has an entire Macross Missile Massacre shooting out of its chest. I am a little confounded as to why the trailers focus solely on hand-to-hand combat. I mean, yes, giant robots punching giant monsters in the face is friggin' awesome, but so is giant robots shooting giant monsters in the face with giant rockets. That needs some love, too.

I knew Striker Eureka could shoot missiles, I read the blueprint.
Shame all the others were in their native language.
@Gypsy Danger poster: Relevant.

Yeah, that is an impressive geography fail.
Chilean Jaeger could be plausible. It's got a really long coastline that isn't close to any of the other countries with Jaegers, so it couldn't rely on the American one like Mexico possibly could. It would probably cost pretty much the country's entire budget, but when the alternative is being destroyed by giant reptiles how many options do you have?
