There are tiny organizations that smuggle in technology and media from South Korea (one bag at a time, usually). North Koreans are not universally bamboozled by their government's propaganda. However, pervasive propaganda disorients North Koreans with respect to the rest of the world. They have an active military only slightly smaller than the U.S. or India, and a huge paramilitary force (largest by raw count, more than twice India's second place paramilitary). Over 3 in 10 North Koreans are affiliated with the military or paramilitary. Of course, one function of the North Korean paramilitary forces is suppressing dissent, which includes keeping an eye on fellow paramilitary personnel. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_number_of_military_and_paramilitary_personnel#The_list http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_number_of_...
