It will fall into chaos as a result of renewed famine and poverty, resulting in military crackdowns.
There will be a military coup that displaces the current leadership, hopefully soon.
It will continue to remain a closed society, technologically dormant and otherwise insignificant.
The leadership will eventually make a misstep, forcing military action from the United States.

One of Carl's questions
Carl asked:I assume the party effectively controls food distribution and production, so giving up that responsibility and power simply would not happen.
