@Pr1s0n3r0fl1f3666: I have put their flag up as an avatar mainly in order to promote interest in the place and try to deal with the numerous misconceptions about the place. Personally, I consider the existence of their current government to be a necessary evil of sorts, because even though they do maintain labour camps with approx. 200 thousand people imprisoned there for life and a third of the population is in some state of malnourishment, their system still maintains free education, 99% literacy rate, free housing, mostly free healthcare and clean water across the country. Their capital, Pyongyang, has plenty of electricity and cars (as witnessed here) and even a million cellphones. Their life expectancy is 68.5 years, which is still marginally better than across Africa or South Asia. Even the aforementioned labor camp population only amounts to 0.08% of the total population.

All in all, while DPRK is far from the best place to live and their government places their status and well-being FAR ahead of the rest of the nation, I believe that any invasion/uprising will make things far worse, as the social benefits will collapse and former military members will invariably form criminal syndicates throughout the country while Chinese and South Korean corporations move in to take advantage of low labour costs. Essentially, the country will become like Mexico AT BEST, and like South Africa at worst.

To get back on track, thanks for your kind invitation, but as with any human being, my time is limited and there are several things on your wiki that scare me off.

1) It's unclear whether the wiki is intended to act as left-leaning community-based source of information or simply a left-wing twin of Conservapedia.

2) It is even more unclear whether it is supposed to be for American use only or actually address users from other countries. This message wall displays awareness of the latter, yet you still insert random strings of Russian letters in some articles and generally have very Ameri-centric perspective when writing about other countries.

3) Too, too far into anti-theist territory, to the point that your articles ignore science in order to simply bash religion.

4) No True Liberal. You call everything that doesn't strictly adhere to your views conservative. It is simply laughable when you try to portray Wikipedia as conservative, or RationalWiki, which agrees with you on EVERY SINGLE ISSUE.

If these are just temporary issues rather than something essential to the website, then I would be happy to contribute here. Otherwise, I will just stay at the gaming wikias.
