Re: "the US is providing food aid to NK." (Believe your data is several years out-of-date on that one!) "In May 2008, the US agreed to give 500,000 metric tons of food to North Korea via the World Food Program and US nongovernmental organizations; Pyongyang began receiving these shipments in mid-2008." cia.gov 2008 - 2009 does not appear to fit the definition of several. Their economy may have shifted away from couterfeit currencies and countefeit cigarettes to military exports. Regardless, they don't seem to be a contributing member of 'polite' society.
