North Korea, like many countries, has its own country code top-level domain address. This means any web address that ends with ".kp" is linked to the notoriously isolated nation.
That's a remarkably small number compared to Germany's ".de" domain- more than 16 million addresses end with it.
The websites with the ".kp" domain include kcna.kp or rodong.rep.kp, which belong to the state news agency and the state newspaper.
But others are more unusual. One, apparently titled "Friend" at the address friend.com.kp, appeared to be some kind of social network. Another - cooks.org.kp - showed off recipes, while korfilm.com.kp was devoted to North Korean movies.
However, the small number of websites that use the domain isn't exactly surprising - only a few thousand North Korean citizens, if that, have access to the internet. The vast majority of the country can access only a closed national intranet known as the Kwangmyong - a network of government.
If most North Korean citizens can't access these websites, who is their target audience?
