Based on CNN reports, “The country is notoriously difficult to get information on and its sanctions-hit economy is said to operate on a number of different levels, including a black market, with the government not even releasing official trade statistics”.

The city of Pyongyang has wide open roads that have nearly non-existent traffic controlled by a legion of “robotic-yet-attractive traffic ladies”. In actuality, no one buys a car in North Korea.

However, North Korea’s interior is very mountainous and dangerous to drive through since the roads are in horrible condition with virtually no refueling stops.
