North Korea

Now I'm not saying that lights are everything, but look at this fairly recent image of a section of Asia. The whole NASA image is here by the way. Look at the border between North and South Korea. I always find looking at that amazing. Other than the glow coming from Kim Jong Il's widescreen TV, the country north of the DMZ (arrowed) is dark - as in lights out. Look at what is south of the DMZ. The greatest percentage of broadband users are sitting there with their lights on. Cranking out Samsung phones and DVD players. The poor folks in the north don't even have enough light to see that they don't have any food to eat. Also check out Taiwan and Japan and see what vibrant and flourishing countries can look like.
