Reason:

Mall believed he was debating for Con and offered 2 rhetorical questions that didn't even imply anything.

Then when Mall realised he was debating for North Korea being the best country in the world, he again passively asks Con (who he now knows is Con) why he believes that North Korea is the worst country.

In Round 2, a Round that Mall could still respond to, Con offers zero arguments against North Korea being the best country in the world but makes it clear that Pro ought to first prove that it is the best.

I disregard Con's Round 3 arguments because they were clearly sucker-punches as Pro had no chance to reply to them but Pro didn't even debate at all for his side so Con wins.

Reason:

pro has to prove that North Korea is the best country in the world, con does not have to show it is the worst. Consider this a full forfeit from pro as he has not even attempted to uphold his burden of proof. The resolution defaults to con.
While con does not bear the burden of proof, pro has given me nothing to even respond to, so North Korea is not the best country in the world because it ranks 177th in GDP per capita which measures the average prosperity of every individual citizen. It is also among a collection of only 16 countries that "have the worst aggregate scores for political rights and civil liberties."
