Join the new world

Hello citizens of Noth Korea,

For a long time I had been thinking of writing such an article, commemorating the North Korean Olympic Team, as in RL maybe none is interested in it. This maybe a RL theme but I think as I said in RL none is curious but here in the New World we are. As the older ones of you remember I also reported the participation of North Korea at the World Cup 2010.

I. Summary
