How does a country like Nort Korea seem to have endless money for its army and develop nuclear weapons despite being one of the most sanctionned country in the world?

There’s a country mouse, a city mouse, and a nuclear physicist mouse. They all share ten pieces of cheese. The country mouse gets two pieces, the city mouse gets three pieces, and the nuclear physicist mouse gets five pieces, because it takes a lot of cheese to make an atomic bomb.
When the cat cuts off the kitchen, and the mice only have eight pieces of cheese, the city mouse takes 2 and a half. The nuclear physicist mouse needs all five, so the country mouse has to make do with half a piece.
The thing is, there are many many country mice. And they all live apart from each other. So they are able to sacrifice a lot. The city mice all live in PyongYang, so it’s possible to give them more than the country mice, which is all that’s necessary for social hierarchy. Point is, they like the extra cheese, even if it might not seem like much. They’ll keep pretending they live in the best city in the best country in the world. Just like we all do.
