The funniest part, that nony presented one of the worst fallacies on this wikia, with all due respect...

I don't think he's around now, since new wikia policies now prohibit anon editing/posting.

Well in fact stats show that North Korea before the 90s famines had WAY better life quality, standard and estimated industrial production when compared to Japan. Japan at ww2 was at best similar to 1800s England, on regards to life quality.

I mean, I'm not defending North Korean regime, over anything else, as I defend monarchy in Korea instead, but if he wants to use life standards and all that crap as excuse, big fail there.

And censoring, cult of personality, militarism and propaganda are present in North Korea also, so I don't believe that nony knows something about NK. Also, who's ww2 japan to say stuff about 'worshipping leader as a god' eh?

As long as I do remember, the US FORCED Japan and its puppet-ruler [the emperor, Showa] at the time to RENOUNCE 'arahitogami' which is the status of a divine being on a mortal human form. That's proof enough on the 'as a god' argument.

Besides, I hoped with the advent of Legend of Korra and the place everyone likes [Republic City] this fallacy would end.

But actually it isn't North Korea, neither ww2 Japan neither Maoist China (also draws heavy influences from Mao china). it's the ancient chinese imperial bureaucracy and the Emperor instead.

And yes, Altiar. a nation which warred against the entire planet for 100 years surely isn't going to prosper easily, unless "cartoon economics" enter in play.
