Not to be outdone, the North put up their own that was higher in their "propaganda" village. After a game of one-up-manship, the North's topped out at 524 ft (160m - almost as tall as Seattle's Space Needle), and is the tallest flagpole in the world.

It was so outsized on the land, that it looked like a stick-pin flag on a wall map even though it was several kilometers away.
