The book I'm working on now, Democracy's Thief, will include a rogue nation which is analogous to the North Korea of today. That is, the leader of that nation will seem crazy, and will threaten nuclear attacks.
The book takes place in 2024.
My current thought is to have Finland be this nation. The idea is that it's funny that one of the world's least threatening countries will have become the top threat.
However, I'm thinking it's too unbelievable, and there isn't enough time for that nation to change so much (unless much of the change happened secretly).
Other options include simply using North Korea, or choosing another country.
Note also that [Spoiler Alert] the US will launch a preemptive attack on whatever country I choose.
Your thoughts?
