I doubt their movies are any good. Their policies encourage artistic repression.
They had to kidnap some poor South Korean director prisoner for decades to make movies for them. So you're probably right.

Encourage? They are artistic repression incarnate.
Although Pulgasari was better than Zilla 1998.

Ironically, that director's story is probably better than most NK films'.

I think he's a bit over-rated.
What good will he do against the North Korean Empire?

It's not an empire until
after it conquers vast cuts of land.

I'd say intention is enough. If you intend to grab more land and you already have a lot of land (filled with subjects you at some point, recently or in the distant past used some form of force to subjugate), then you qualify in my book. You can have a tiny empire too.
Its quite lax I know.

North Korea, easily.
However, North Korea cannot beat any industrialized nation, because it uses archaic weapons during warfare.

Yes, its nuclear arsenal is even questionable.

I don't know, they might be able to take on modern Greece, if no one else intervened.

Not really. China has basically always been the most densely-populated area of the world.

You are aware the KPA has been modernizing for the past 10 years right? I've gone in depth on it a number of times on the forums.

Their citizens have smartphones virtually without internet. They have surely modernized.

North Korea literally has technology on the level of gods compared to Rome (Even their non-nuclear missiles would be considered god-like by the Romans). That doesn't take into account that North Korea actually has fire arms, while the Romans mostly have spears, swords, and bows. They didn't even have muskets.
North Korea would absolutely ruin Rome.

Of course, but I'm pretty sure Roman economy is better than that of North Korea.

The North Koreans are quite a bit behind, but they're not as far behind as you'd think.

Higher GDP, more stable currency.
Oh yeah, don't forget that the Romans have greater living standards.

I don't think there is any conclusive evidence they are not that far behind. Nuclear arsenals are questionable.
