About Rason

Rason, North Korea 🇰🇵 is a special economic zone with limited openness and tightly controlled access. While it has ports and some business infrastructure, it’s generally **not suitable for digital nomads** due to restricted internet, limited services, and strict travel rules. Best for curious visitors under official arrangements, not remote work. 🌐🚫
