Garbage Bombs
North Korea has been testing hydrogen bombs for years, but in 2016, their salvo of tests stirred up some serious worry for their neighbors to the south. Thus, the South Koreans sent balloons over the DMZ and into North Korea with anti-testing propaganda in them.
Not to be outdone, the North Koreans sent back some balloons of their own. Their propaganda, though, was a lot more personal. In fact, when the South Koreans popped them, they were greeted with garbage.

Limited Browsing
We all spend hours browsing the millions of websites that are at our fingertips every day. It seems like there is no end to the knowledge we can gain, but in North Korea, this just can’t happen. Their internet only has 28 websites available to those who have access to a computer. Of course, that number is very low in comparison to the rest of the world. The internet is free, though, so that is good!
Fake City
The area surrounding the DMZ has been prime for propaganda for years, so in order to have their ideas heard, the North Korean government built a small town near it. It certainly looked nice and was also intended to beckon South Koreans into defecting. In truth, though, it was primarily created so that the North could blast their rhetoric over the loudspeakers. However, in 2004, both sides decided to stop broadcasting their propaganda, and now the city sits empty.
