I don't think it's illegal. The amount of citizen with access to enough wealth to own a car is just relatively low
- Private car ownership is highly restricted. You only have access to a car if you are a party member, are conducting business for the party, or are well connected.
  Their society is very localized and travel is restricted(you need a permit to leave your county), trains and bicycles are how you move about if you aren't walking.
  
  Nice, they've solved the climate crisis. It truly is the greatest country.

Those roads are probably for police and military so they can arrive quickly in case of invasion or citizens becoming uppity.
- Sure, but that thing is 4 lanes in either direction. That's a lot of asphalt for a whole bunch of nothing.
  
  Kim must love drag racing I guess
- Also why the US highway system was built, btw. The president who championed it, Eisenhower, was the commander of US allied forces during WW2. While there were other benefits, his goal was to be able to quickly transport troops in the event of a Soviet invasion.
  
  Which is a fucking dumb idea seeing how shitty the US rail system is.
- Which was also the real reason Hitler built the Autobahn (or rather, continued and expanded the plans that already existed).
  
  And why Eisenhower built the interstates. They even used dod funding

They're cosplaying a successful country
- Maybe they are a cargo cult? Build big streets and the wealth will come!

LOL, if one can afford a car in NK, it must be a dream to drive it. Roads as wide as in California with zero traffic.
- No one driving on it and it’s still full of potholes and poorly patched.
  
  An empty road full of potholes and the only other people driving are people I probably know by name?
  This is Mario Kart IRL

Why are all the trees dead?
- Insane you found 4 of the same looking tree. If you look closely you can see the branch structure is super similar
- They are still waiting on their permits for water.
- The US bombed them so severely that only 20% of their land is arable
  
  Checks tld Yup ☑️
  
  Nice try, tankie, but 20% is higher than the US. The world average is 10%.

But think of the impressive military parades.

They don't want anyone to go anywhere without being extra nice. It's not car centered city, it's a huge prison.

They need wide roads. Who knows how fat Kim Jong Un is going to get?

That’s a city.
