North Korea has released a stamp commemorating the arrival of 2011, or Juche 100 by its own calendar.
The stamp notes the fact that the doors to the “strong and prosperous country” are only 365 days away on a sun in the backdrop, facing which are the customary figures: a soldier, a worker and a farmer, and a suited intellectual bearing a “CNC”-inscribed book.
CNC, or Computer Numerical Control, i.e. the automation of industrial machine tools, is said to represent the achievements of Kim Jong Eun, the youthful, foreign-educated English-speaking successor to Kim Jong Il. (source: Yonhap News)
