Third Reich vs. North Korea

[Middle-aged Europe]

Life in pre-war Nazi Germany is probably preferable and much more comfortable compared to North Korea, provided you're no Jew, Romani, other form of ethnic minority, homosexual, disabled person, communist, or generally a woman.

However, the Nazis will inevitably start a world war in which the city you live is probably going to get repeatedly carpet-bombed. Either that, or you're eventually going to get drafted to fight in Stalingrad. On the plus side though, the Nazi regime is finished much quicker than the North Korean one.
