so do you know about nk policy than others since you learned it? if so, go ahead and talk about it and enlighten us even for a bit? i dont read blogs about nk, i only read newspapers articles and watch tv news, whose sources are mostly from south korea or our own, and from north koreans in japan in various situations.
and i would *try* to respond back to you with whatever i learned or i assumed from the very little info i have.
and we can end up talking about alpha centauri, whats wrong with that? we can smile in the end, thats win-win!
shall i start?
"what kind of influence do you think such china-oriented faction can bring to this successor, and how would that change the situation?"

Sorry, if it looked like, "you know nothing, i know something".
What i'm trying to say, i know nothing too, lol. No one knows. Perhaps secret servises know something, but they have not told me :cry:
Look, i read some interviews with refugees, for example. They are quite interesting in the sense of understanding usual life in nk. But there is no high-ranking-member-refugees, or if they are, cia (sorry, dont know the name of sk security service) did not show them to me, and i highly doubt they show them to journalists.
So, if we are talking on definitely fictional topic, let's better talk about warhammer fantasy, or masquerade setting, lol.

Not much to talk about regarding Alpha Centauri life, nothing but fungus and mindworms there.

we think we know some facts, cauda. if you learn about them more, you should realize many japanese adults who actually pay attentions to certain media learn those facts that are shown. (of course many things are not facts and just assumptions.)
but of course i am not to blame you for that because youve never lived in japan and you probably do not know much about our history with them.

Watched this last night, what a fucking awful place. I also watched the guide to Liberia and that was even worse....

(I'm the type of person who requires stimulation no matter where I go or what I do. Good food, good conversation, even good sites. North Korea looks like the literal embodiment of MY hell.)

Observe the Razorbeak as it tends so carefully to the fungal blooms;
just the right bit from the yellow, then a swatch from the pink.
Follow the Glow Mites as they gather and organize the fallen spores.
What higher order guides their work? Mark my words: someone or something
is managing the ecology of this planet.

Seems like there's plenty to talk about, really. Once you taste the fungus you will gain an entirely new perspective. :)
Once a man has changed the relationship between himself and his environment, he cannot return to the blissful ignorance he left. Motion, of necessity, involves a change in perspective.

Resources exist to be consumed. And consumed they will be, if not by this generation then by some future. By what right does this forgotten future seek to deny us our birthright? None I say! Let us take what is ours, chew and eat our fill.

Yeah, I never cared much for the gameplay itself but the fluff was good enough to keep me playing.
