North Korea

North Korea is a location within The Suffering. It is the only country whose population, zombie number and/or conditions of the nation are unknown. However, it is predicted that either 1%, 75% or 100% survived the plague.

Apocalypse
North Korea was one of the first nations to respond to the zombie plague in China, by immediately closing their borders and airports. A new law was set in place to restrict all citizens from leaving, which forced some to escape through underground tunnels.

As South Korea suffered a major outbreak in Busan, North Korea went silent. Chinese, American and Russian authorities attempted to fly over the nation only to find the streets deserted and a field full of bunker doors. Almost every citizen was forced to go underground. Even in 2025, the US and other liberated nations refused to re-take the land incase the bunkers were full of deceased zombies or there were secret landmines scattered all over the nation. It is estimated that only about 4,000 North Koreans escaped before the new laws.
