Actually North Korea has been growing economically, and rather substantially. The latest sanctions may change some of that.

EDIT: Much of that growth is (or was) due to limited market liberalization, the "jangmadang" or local marketplaces, tolerated since the famines of the 1990's, then more or less officially acknowledged. Trade with China is involved here.

Interesting, I knew their economy had picked up a bit what I wasn't aware of the extent, thanks for the link.
