I like how the DPRK advertises the fact that it has four seasons.

Florida isn't a country. Ukraine, however, is, and we also have two seasons. They are called 'Ye fuck, is it really -25C out there? 0_0' and 'Ye fuck, is it really +40C out there? 0_0'

I know it isn't :P
But putting state in there wouldn't have fit with the attempted joke.

Yeah I posted about this stuff in the Happy Thread a while back, although frankly any Happy I get from watching this stuff comes with strong dose of Sad.

I also recommend you guys watch the VICE Guide to Film on North Korea where they talk about how Kim Jong Il kidnapped people in order to get them to make movies for him. Turns out, Kim Jong Il was a big fan of Godzilla movies, so they actually made a Godzilla movie... it's really crazy stuff.

Oh, also, if this stuff interests you, you might want to see the feature they did on North Korean labor camps in Siberia.

Yeah, in parts of the tropics close enough to the equator (for example where I lived for a decade in indonesia), there are only two seasons, rainy season and dry season.

Interesting links. Things keep leading to me reading about Korea and the North especially. I'd imagine you've heard of Shin In Geun the only person to escape the highest security NK prison camps. He was born on the inside.

And surprisingly friendly for someone who appears to be part of the Russian Mob. Though, I guess if you don't owe them money they have no reason not to be friendly.

Ohaaaiiiidere. Yeah, Indonesia's weather in the rainy season=Thunderstorm all day every day. Rather morbid.

It's actually not uncommon for lucrative, and well established organized crime gangs in heavily corrupt areas to be rather friendly. I mean, if they're not all that worried about the cops, why would they be afraid of you? I mean, it's basically all just a business, and business is all about making friends, and you do want to be friends... right?

Al Capone was a very well liked person, although it probably helped that most of his money was made through bootlegging liquor (which many people didn't actually view as all that reprehensible), and that he donated a lot of money to charitable causes.
