1) What conclusion can you draw about the comparative advantages other countries have in farming over Japan and the Koreas?

2) What conclusion can you draw about the government's influence on daily life in North Korea? Explain your reasoning.

My answer:
North Korea has an unlimited government, therefore it is communist. The government greatly controls the people. They don't have much freedom. The government chooses their jobs and owns all the lands and businesses. Also, you cannot quit a job whenever you want. Furthermore, people can't freely oppose the government, if they do they are punished. Also, even if they are forced to do something they don't want to, they still have to give money to the government.

Can someone please check my answer??? I'm not really sure about what to write for number 1. Please help, thanks! (=

Your answer for 2 looks good.

Look at the physical geography of Japan and the Koreas. Do they have a lot of flat land?
Thanks! Well, a lot of Japan and South Korea is mountainous, with lots of forests...so I'm thinking not much flat land...
Only about 11.64% of Japan's land mass is suitable for agriculture I believe.
Also, only about 16.58% of South Korea's land mass is suitable for agriculture.
Yes! Well-researched answers!

Most other countries have much more land available for farming.
