The Need For Nuclear Power
On the world maps at night, South Korea looks like an island. Here's a close up of the area. The single spot of light in North Korea is the capital Pyongyang. If ever a nation needed nuclear power more and nuclear weapons less.
What could account for the all lit up nature of South Korea and the all darked down nature of North Korea? Could it be the different economic systems they embraced after WWII? Just asking.

It's still more startling when you realize that North Korea was the richer part of the country at the end of WWII. Nearly all of the heavy industry was in the North; the south was mostly agricultural.
With respect to socialism, is that why most of Canada at night resembles North Korea?

Excellent point (sarcasm), doop. South Korea looks the area around Toronto, and North Korea looks like Baffin Island. The difference is of course that N and S Korea touch while Toronto and Baffin Island are 1400 miles (and several vegetation zones) apart. So your geographic apology for socialism's catastrophic failure (again) just desn't hold water. Nice try though.
