The only Nork with which I am familiar, is that which sounds like Nork when pronounced by it's locals. To whit: New York - having visited a couple of times. Must dig out the photos taken from the top of the twin towers (when they still existed obviously - even us spooks cannot manage the impossible of going somewhere that no longer exists)
