According to what can we rank the severity of dictatorships? Why is it North Korea and not, for example, [[Turkmenistan|Türkmenistan]]? The latter is not a bad candidate for rank #1.

Rhetoric is verging on silly - or already there. This is a serious article about people in serious trouble:
- styles itself ...
- megalomaniacal dictator
- criticized by people of all political stripes ...
- difficulties with food shortages
First two are overblown rhetoric.
Next one is an exaggeration; liberals hardly ever criticize the NK government.
Last one is an understatement.
Please rewrite the intro with a more serious tone. Save breezy for record album reviews. --Ed Poor Talk 23:01, 6 July 2007 (EDT)
Defense
Outdated air force is right! That must be the last country on the planet to still have MiG-17s in operational service.--Frey 14:09, 11 October 2008 (EDT)
