While looking at Google Maps’ satellite view of North Korea, I noticed something unusual in several areas: https://www.google.com/maps/@39.8416379,124.6971993,599m/dat... https://www.google.com/maps/@39.7064561,124.9519379,871m/dat... https://www.google.com/maps/@39.7917888,127.4197521,1723m/da... Much of the landscape is divided into rectangular parcels, almost like a factorio layout, or something from sim city 3000, rather than natural terrain. Does anyone know the reason for this pattern? | ||

Large scale collective farming I guess. The US' farmland in the central states was also organized by a centralized process (homestead act) leading to similar geographic patterns on a bigger scale. https://maps.app.goo.gl/idNBdXv5oKSF1oVo7 | ||

Looks like farm land. Perhaps the land was assigned to individual in small pieces, and the individual get a portion of the harvest. | ||
