    So was South Korea. About as rich as one of the worse-off African nations before the split.

    The south embraced capitalism and democracy and are a powerhouse. The North embraced authoritarian rule and communism and did… not so well.

    Yep. That's how it happened, you idealist dork. When the koreas researched "ideologies" and the "choose your path" prompt popped up, the south chose "democracy" and got an economic development bonus, while the north foolishly chose "authoritarian" and gained nothing but mass gymnastic displays. do not make their mistake!

      Always going communist in Civ games for that sweet sweet industry bonus. :marx-ok:

      Usually ends with a war against the entire world when everyone else goes; "Democracy", or full fash, so that checks out.

      It is obvious that when you get elected as president you have a focus tree to explore and choose different paths like in hearts of iron 4.

      But anyway, wasn't the North actually much better than the South until like the 80s/90s?
