Norse Korea

Norse Korea is a land shrouded in mystery, where the thunder of war echoes not only across its borders but also in the halls of Valhalla.

Norse Korea's military strategies are inspired by Odin himself: "Why invade your neighbors when you can just hold a never-ending parade and fire missiles that look like they were designed by Loki for his next prank?" The country's nuclear tests resemble the ravings of a berserker, though one wonders if they might actually be Odin's attempt at a midlife crisis: "Look, guys, I can totally outshine Ragnarok."

Diplomacy

Norse Korea has adopted a policy of negotiating "only if you're a Valkyrie, and even then it depends how tall your battle standards are". The rest of the world stands in awe, scratching their heads as Norse Korea's leaders shout orders from their throne rooms, which are suspiciously like Viking longhouses, and echo with boisterous chants. "We don't need friends; we just need to be feared!"

On the rare occasion when diplomacy does occur, the talks often feature a tense standoff between Norse Korea’s representatives and their counterparts, each trying to outshout the other with claims of divine heritage.

"Thor's hammer is nothing compared to the power of our nuclear might!"

"Oh sure, but my guy Odin? He literally controls fate. Try building that into a missile."

Economy

Norse Korea's economic system is as unpredictable as a visit from Loki. One day, the country's handing out golden apples, and the next day the only thing left on the menu is a bowl of mead. The general population, meanwhile, endures with the stoic resolve of a Viking preparing for battle, knowing that if things go wrong at least they'll be welcomed into Valhalla.

In Norse Korea peace is fleeting, alliances are temporary, and every diplomatic meeting is just another day in the endless struggle to make the gods proud – particularly Loki, who might be the one truly pulling the strings behind the scenes. But with their indomitable spirit and their keen ability to throw shade on the rest of the world, Norse Korea marches on, ready to conquer at least the next day.
