North Korea Player?

I have three games played against North Koreans and I find it odd that there are so many. I believe all of them to be fake but still.

Quick question regarding the flag thumbnail that represents a player's location.

Is it based on IP address? or can anyone fake it somehow? because a lot of people said that you can't play against someone from North Korea and yet I played with this guy a little while ago.

It can 100% be faked. But there may be North Korean nationals who have successfully escaped to South Korea who still identify as North Korean nationals. It's possible you are playing these guys. I really have no idea what North Korean law says on chess or how strictly such a law, if it exists to begin with, is enforced.
