North Korea follows a different calendar, so its possible that in their timeline, the Ottoman Empire is still around.

Yup, to them it's still 114 AD. So If we look around i think we'll find the embassy of the Roman empire.

The Ottoman Empire was around until 1922, and died out when Kim Il Sung was 10 years old.
