If that building were in Vegas it would still be ugly, but it would be built to a reasonable standard. They do have tourists, gambling and a way to occupy it. None of that exists in NK.
Well I think we can agree here. Vegas would find a way to dress up the building. 2% of GNP is a lot Someone figure that out in US GNP will ya. I wonder what you could build with that.

USA Numbers for 2006: GNP 11059,3 billion $

-> 2%: 221,186,000,000$

I think you could build a really nice hotel with that!
