    North Korea. The last communist country in the world. Unknown, hermetic and fascinating.

It also has the most militarized border in the world, and the flow of impartial information, both going in and out, is practically non-existent. As the recent Sony-leaks has shown, it is the perfect setting for a propaganda war.
