why go by IP, it looks as though they can't afford a domain like that:

Ah. I only found links to naenara.kp, which didn't work.

내나라 (naenara) literally means "my country".

Whoa. Seriously? Is South Korea known for heavy online censorship?

  Seriously, yes. South Korea censors the North Korean websites and some illegal ones (heavy porn, for example) too. I think there are no known such instances against the free speech rather than NK-related ones, but I'm afraid that there might be in the future.

    > heavy porn

This is the redirect for sites that South Korea bans. Also applies to gambling websites, certain porn, North Korea related things, etc.

I like how they call their country "Korea".

What else would they call it? (use DPRK everywhere?) They don't recognize the "other" Korea. South Korea does the same, e.g. at http://www.mofat.go.kr/
