[ WP ] The Government and Media have been lying and North Korea is actually a super advanced , peaceful Utopia . You 're an American who just crashed landed a boat in North Korea .

I woke up to bright light. I grunted as the world flashed before me, a doctor standing above me shining a light into my right pupil. 
 
 `` There he is,'' said the doctor, with a wide smile. I sat up and looked around, trying to gauge my surroundings. 
 
 `` Where am I?'' 
 
 `` Pyongyang Regional Hospital. You were involved in a serious boating accident. You were lucky we got to you in time.'' 
 
 The doctor looked at me with a genuine grin. 
 
 `` Pyongyang..... so that means I'm in,'' I thought back to my high school geography class. `` North Korea?!'' I said wide eyed, the reality of where I was finally dawning on me. 
 
 `` Correct,'' said the doctor, puzzled by my surprise. 
 
 He turned around to the window. 
 
 `` I think some fresh air would do you some good,'' he said as he opened the curtains. 
 
 I do n't think I ever could have been prepared for the sight that greeted me. Skyscrapers, floating billboards, and I think I even saw a hovercar! 
 
 He looked at me with gracious eyes. 
 
 `` How does your leg feel?'' 
 
 `` My leg?'' I asked him. 
 
 I looked under the silk covers and saw my right leg, a leg I did n't recognize. 
 
 `` Is it functioning properly? Is it squeaking at all?'' 
 
 `` SQUEAKING?'' 
 
 I tried to get a hold of myself. I slowly picked up my leg, bending it at the knee. 
 
 `` Great, it seems as though the nerve grafting has gone off without a hitch. Now would you please stand up and balance on one foot.'' 
 
 I did as the doctor said. I parted my lips, preparing to say something, to ask one of the many questions that flooded my mind, but I could n't bring myself to speak. 
 
 `` Okay, now the other leg.'' 
 
 I put my right leg on the ground and picked up the left. It felt so real.... almost too real. The normal stutters and shakes I got balancing on my....... *original* foot were gone. I was standing perfectly straight. 
 
 `` Excellent,'' the doctor squealed, sounding positively giddy. `` Now could you please hop?'' 
 
 I hopped, floating in the air for much longer than I had imagined was possible. 
 
 `` Perfect,'' he replied as he scribbled on his notepad. `` I'll be right back.'' 
 
 `` One second doctor.'' I thought carefully about the best way to broach the topic. `` How much will this, ermmmmm, cost me?'' 
 
 He looked at me, failing to contain a hearty laugh. 
 
 `` Nonsense, everyone knows we have universal healthcare here.'' He continued laughing on his way out the door. 
 
 As he left, I stood in awe. I looked down at the artificial limb, wiggling the artificial toes. I walked around the room, admiring the eggshell paint on the walls and ultimately stopping at a paper rack on the far wall, glancing at the form in the top left corner. 
 
 `` Application for North Korean Citizenship,'' the paper read. 
 
 I immediately fumbled for a pen.
