The Night King does not need land, money, food, oxygen, castles, or even power. High risk, low reward. What does the Night King expect to get at the end?

That's what we always called them.

DPRK is sort of a joke, although that's what North Korea calls itself. The first three letters are about as truthful as a Fox "News" report on Hillary's health. Sort of like the old East Germany was the "German Democratic Republic," although the last two thirds of their name were also a joke.

Hear me out. Burger King gets cutesy and tries to call itself "BK". Then I keep hearing the term "Nothing Burger". Where do you get those? At "Nothing King" - Hence, NK.
