North Korea
Until a revolution or some form of perestrojka, North Korea (officially the Democratic People's Republic of Korea or DPRK) is probably the last country on the face of the planet Earth where you cannot go put up your thumb on the side of the road.
Country borders China to the north, Russia to the north east and South Korea to the south.
Medias
There is a nice North Korea travel documentary called "DPRK: The Land Of Whispers". You can watch it on Youtube.
Guy Delisle wrote a graphic novel about his two months stay in Pyongyang. See Wikipedia page
