Your secret mission: transform the most isolated country on Earth into a democracy ā without losing power, triggering a coup, or starving your people. APPOINT YOUR CABINET Choose from 12 unique officials ā each with their own loyalty, competence, and hidden agenda. The Hawk wants nuclear war. The Scientist secretly feeds data to the IAEA. The Opportunist will betray you the moment you show weakness. Who do you trust? NAVIGATE IMPOSSIBLE CHOICES 25+ hand-crafted events and AI-generated crises that react to your decisions. South Korean drones drop K-pop USB drives over Pyongyang. The Pope offers a historic visit. Your generals are plotting in the bathhouse. There are no right answers ā only consequences.
