Outside New York: A Crisis Guide

Former City Council staffer Brittany Mariotti sends word that her current employer, the Council on Foreign Relations, has a new interactive site about North Korea's nuclear ambitions. The Korea Crisis Guide includes a map whic explains where North Korea is (admit you need it); shows the military strength of neighboring countries, and gives economic and historical info.

Or, you can think of it this way: it's a place to learn about a real international, diplomatic, nuclear crisis. Which should help put another crisis in perspective.
