The N. Korean situation is serious? $12.38 billion GDP.

Serious for whom? With an African GDP per capita of $583.00


Population? 26 million in an area of 120,540 km²


Some African countries GDP per capita for comparison

So who is North Korea trading with?

Well, mainly China. $2.3 billion of $2.83 billion total exports were shipped to China in 2015, according to the Observatory of Economic Complexity. That's 83% of all of North Korea's exports. Besides China, export partners include Pakistan, India and Burkina Faso. Coal briquettes were North Korea's largest export in 2015 (a briquette is a compressed brick of coal dust). They were followed by knit and non-knit clothing. North Korea also exported silver, wood products, and processed fish.
