I haven't; read your book, But I expect I may in the future. Is it really that bad in NK? only I thought the countries economic state may account for some poverty.

However, it's not so UN-usual for people work in the fields. it was less than 100 years ago that the entire planet functioned like this. Is it really as bad as they say?

Sorry for my late reply.. OMG- I didn;t relise it so bad!. I'm quite shocked at what you said, but I've begun to understand it. I'm not really sure on how to comment on what you said, im speachless!

well, for my personal opinion, the people who have a great deal of money will go on a constant holiday. for the other 99% who can;t afford a personal "Terminator" well... hmm, I think they will have to labour for their food!

It just seems a bit foolish to run a country in this way. I mean, if I was running it, I would have almost 50% of the working population producing food. especially for children etc. And then simply the other half of the working population would be manufacturing. (at least until famine was not an issue).

I don;t see a an economic reason to keep your people suppressed. Even if they can;t leave the country, I would definitely invest in citizen happiness and standards of living. I personally think the industry side of the country would become much more productive?

People are more happy to work if they are happy and well-cared for?

Is there a reason why such ideas have not been implemented?

Hmm, no I haven't read it, I only mentioned it as China adopted a one child policy due to over population.

Therefore, if people aren't needed they will try to reduce the population over time, as executing everyone would be quite messy! (and cause serious wars)
