You can actually visit North Korea if you are not American.
I knew a western family German passport who went over. You cannot wear blue jeans. You have someone with you at all times and you are not allowed to talk to anyone.
But that tells you very little about day to day life. Checkout this 2012 movie. You will find it interesting and believable.
