Afforestation in the DPRK

Kim Jong Il's blog seems to have gone silent, but now the nation itself has launched its first website -- in English! (sort of):

[Visiting a factory, Kim Jong Il] was very pleased to see that the workers of the factory who are boundlessly loyal to the Party and revolution are making brilliant achievements daily in the herculean undertaking of building a great prosperous powerful nation and are keeping the factory and workplaces clean.  ...

Over the past years the factory created over 800 hectares of forests of economic value in nearby mountains and tended the trees with care. It is now benefiting greatly from afforestation. Expressing great satisfaction over the fact that the employees turned out as one in the afforestation campaign and were fabulously successful, he highly appreciated their patriotic performance.

Sounds sort of like "Mad Libs," doesn't it? Just switch all the adjectives, verbs and nounds around, it means exactly the same thing.
