    They wouldn’t be able to afford it, would they?

      Good point. Qatar is beyond wealthy but North Korea repeatedly has to threaten to nuke people in order to get aid packages.

        They have quite a lot of money, particularly in foreign currency slush funds (see Room 39 for example). However the Kim family has the final say in what is government money and what never makes it onto the books.

        They could probably afford a FIFA championship. It’s admitting they have that kind of money, that would be a huge problem.

          I think it depends what you mean by “afford”, they might have enough money stashed away to host one time but it’s going to seriously take away from their future

          NK has never chosen their future or basic needs over useless megaprojects though

      North Korea’s GDP is on the order of 20 billion per year. Tiny for a country that size, but considering they don’t have to spend any of it on their population, that gives them a lot of bribe money.

      It’s not even a detonator box. It’s a bike pump because he’s inflating the massive paint bubble.

      So it’s a pointless black box.
