1. Room 39 (North Korea)

Three governing bodies primarily oversee the operation of North Korea. As mentioned, Room 39 is assigned the responsibility of raising money for the dictatorship, Office 38 is in charge of handling funds, and Office 35 is in charge of overseeing intelligence. Numerous illegal activities, such as insurance fraud and medication production, generate income from the shadowy group.

The party took its name after its location inside the Workers' Party of Korea headquarters. This chamber is reportedly the most mysterious place in the entire universe. Unauthorized visitors will most likely be kidnapped or killed before they can locate it because multiple levels protect it upon layers of security.

2. Area 51 (USA)

Formerly known as Homey Airport, this United States Air Force-owned facility is amidst the Nevada desert. However, there is only so much information regarding the region. There has been widespread speculation for a long time that the site is utilized to test high-tech aircraft and armaments; nonetheless, everything in Area 51 is officially classified.

In 2019, a guy was killed while trying to break into the base, even though the surrounding region was extensively monitored during that time. This location has been the source of a great deal of controversy and speculation, as it is known for its strictness.

3. Mezhgorye (Russia)

There is a town called Mezhgorye located in the Ural Mountains in the southwestern region of Russia. This town is closed, so only the residents can enter this area. Accordingly, Mezhgorye formerly comprised two or three distinct military garrisons that later merged into the closed town people are familiar with today. The primary hypothesis is that Mezhgorye is a residence for the employees of Mount Yamantau, located nearby.

Moreover, the Bashkir dialect denotes 'Yamantau' as the 'evil mountain' that essentially covers it. The idea that Yamantau is home to a covert Russian military installation has been around for quite some time. At this point, researchers do not know whether that is a repository, a nuclear plant, or a bunker. Also, Russia is not going to tell anyone.

4. Svalbard Global Seed Vault (Norwegian archipelago)

Svalbard Global Seed Vault, located on a Norwegian archipelago in the Arctic Ocean, is considered one of the most private structures in the field of science itself. This vault stores 1,214,827 seed samples to back up genebanks worldwide, ensuring global food security. Without any power, the samples are kept frozen by the permafrost buried approximately 400 feet into Plateau Mountain. The vault is a vital tool for the preservation of biodiversity on a worldwide scale because only authorized individuals are permitted to enter it.

5. Vatican Apostolic Archives (Vatican City)

The Vatican Apostolic Archives, formerly the Vatican Secret Archives, contain Holy See government records in Vatican City's Cortile del Belvedere. With over 52 miles of shelving, this hidden archive holds documents from the 8th to 20th centuries, including Martin Luther's 1521 papal bull of condemnation. Access to this repository of historical and theological value is restricted to 60 researchers who have been pre-approved each day, which lends an air of exclusivity to the collection.
