Its a fabricated village designed for visitors to make it look like everything is happy and well in the land of communist North Korea. Nothing could be further from the truth. The people are starving, the women are being raped, the children are stupefied, its all much worse than you can imagine and you don't even know it. Even what you see right now is being controlled.

Indeed, but that trick was invented in imperial Russia by a minister of Catherine the Great named Potemkin (hence the name)
