Nothing, and I feel like these discussions, even if made ironically, come off as incredibly tone-deaf given the reality of the people unfortunate enough to be stuck living in N.K.

That their brainwashed loyalists think everyone else in the world are as easily duped as they are.
now imagine if their propaganda was world class
I saw a short documentary by the BBC with a few people currently living inside the country. There is nothing to admire about North Korea
Where to begin! The famines? The oppression? The lack of liberties? The persecution of queer people, or, indeed, any thought viewed as slightly aberrant? The megalomaniacal madman who keeps his people in chains while he lives the life of the ultra-rich? The gasping, desperate poverty of his subjects? Their inability to leave the country? The militarism? The backwardness?
Oh, wait, what we like?
Uh...
At 40 years old, they have one of the world's youngest leaders. Way to represent Millenials, Kim!
True, though they only put esteem in him because they consider him an avatar of his grandfather.
Necrocracy. I think they're the only country that is officially still ruled by a dead leader.
Am I the only one who actually thinks it's a good system of government? I mean when you think about it, if you're being ruled by a dead person like that, it prevents excessive deviation of ruling style. I bet many Americans wish they were still ruled by the insightful guidance of George Washington, even if by proxy.
I have a morbid curiosity for their state propaganda (as with other state propaganda). They're just very persistent with it. Not sure if that counts as something from NK that's good, but it's at least one thing that I'm fascinated by.
Their flag is extra wide
So is Kim's butt that he has to have chair checkers to make sure the chair will take his weight.
Safety is no accident!
I didn't know that! I wonder why they made that design decision.
