and North Korean locomotive phone cards



If phone cards sound too advanced for the "hermit kingdom", these were designed for use in the Rason Special Economic Zone, at the time called the Rajin-Sonbong Economic Special Zone, established in the early 1990s by the North Korean government near Rason to promote economic growth through foreign investment. It is similar to the Special Economic Zone setup by China and elsewhere to pilot market economics in a designated controlled area.
