North Korea becomes the first to devolve back to the Middle Stone Ages.

[Sheb]

You've never been to Somalia...

North Korea becomes the first to devolve back to the Middle Ages.

Yes, but Definitely NOT the first, my good sir. There are many many examples...

[Slayerhero90]

There.

[Just Some Guy]

Last seven South Korean employees leave Kaesong. Also, China is getting sick of North Korea's crap.

You've never been to Kampuchea.

See, when you think you've hit rock bottom, really there's so much further to go. Same with nations!

Hunter/gatherer society?

[Loud Whispers]

It can get EVEN worse than now, which is highly improbable.

Hunter/gatherer society?

Pre-tools society?

Pre-tools society?

Nah. By the time they revert to a hunter/gatherer society, the whole power base of the government would have collapsed, and people will start to live independently. If China doesn't facepalm and step in to get the people on the road to making something of themselves (other than an embarrassment) for once, it'll likely end up something akin to ancient Korean society.

So then their new king will actually be riding unicorns this time around?

North Korea already reverted to pre-industrial society anyways, right?

It really is like a feudal kingdom there, you have this ruling family who owns the country for their own benefit, a bunch of starving peasants with no rights being robbed of everything they produce and thrown in oubliettes. The elite building pointless monuments the rulers claiming to be divine entities, all kinds of fairy tales and subjection and everything.

They manage to one-up ancient feudal systems by forcing them to do these mass games for the elite's amusement and endangering every last one of them with nuclear annihilation.

I want you to read your post very carefully. You appear to be conflating technological development with societal development.
