North Korea will collapse due to their deteorating economy. They will either have to accept the West and their neighbor to the south, or they will continue to go under. It's hard to maintain law and order when your populace is starving.

A genetically modified colonel will seize power in a bloody coup and use a gigantic satillite to sweep across the DMZ, only to be stopped by a dashing British agent and his sexy American partner.

In the next five years I expect it will be much the same as now. However I don't belive the country will last past 2015
