North Korea is the dark spot
To the right, you can see a nation that has been a free nation for over 60 years (Japan) and with a cultural heritage of austerity and discipline. Near the middle is a nation that has been free for over 50 years (S. Korea) and with a less austere culture. The left side is China’s hybrid planned capitalist/socialist economy.
The black hole in the middle tha blends in almost perfectly with ocean is North Korea. A centrally planned wasteland so focused on it’s military that it only tolerates the existence of electricity because of how helpful it is in developing missiles.
