Kijŏngdong is a village in P’yŏnghwa-ri, Kaesong-si, North Korea. It is situated in the North’s half of the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ). Also known in North Korea as Peace Village, it has been widely referred to as Propaganda Village by those outside North Korea.

The official position of the North Korean government is that the village contains a 200-family collective farm, serviced by a childcare center, kindergarten, primary and secondary schools, and a hospital.

Scrutiny with modern telescopic lenses reveals that the buildings are mere uninhabited concrete shells lacking window glass or even interior rooms, with building lights turned on and off at set times and empty sidewalks swept by a skeleton crew of caretakers in an effort to preserve the illusion of activity.

that’s insane.
