There are Soviet style mobility restrictions, and housing is allocated based on political reliability in the capital, and you need to apply for a permit to move. These are apparently fairly easy to get in recent years but were strongly restricted in the post-Soviet emergency period.
The DPRK is encouraging movement to the cities as farms mechanise/re-mechanise and infrastructure improves.
Additionally short term/holiday travel seems to be fairly easy, about equal to the SU.
aye any tips on getting a tourist visa? i've been looking into traveling to the various present and past aes and see what goes on for myself. if i like it might consider moving to one of them.
There's a couple of agencies around that plan tours for westerners, and that's the only way you'll get in. They're pretty expensive and very controlled, though you do get to see some countryside.
DPRK would be last on my list of AES states to live, Below Laos, Nepal and Transnistria. Not because "Teh Evulz" but because they're the most besieged.
Try Cuba or Vietnam, they're much easier to go to if you absolutely must bail on the Western Working Classes.
