— North Korean propaganda

North Korea, officially the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) is a totalitarian dictatorship with a communist philosophy, widely known as the most totalitarian and unfree country ever. He is located in East Asia, on the north half of the Korean Peninsula. North Korea is ruled by the Workers' Party of Korea, under the doctine of Juche. He is known for exploiting his population, starving peasants while getting the highest level of comfort himself, and being very, VERY isolated. He hates his sucessful capitalist brother and American puppeteer.

North Korea is very full of himself, believing that he is the superior being to all those on Earth. While all the other communist states of the Cold War became democratized, non-communist, or reformed, North Korea kept the old Stalinist Era system, making him weird and stand out, and also isolated.

Since North Korea was such a terrible place to live, many people decided to escape him. This made North Korea reinforce his borders over and over again, making it almost impossible for anyone to leave the country. Along the DMZ border with South Korea, there are tons of soldiers waiting to shoot anyone who attempts to cross it. Escaping north to China and Russia isn't any easier, both countries have agreed to send any escaped North Korean back to North Korea is they caught them. Plus, on these dangerous routes, getting someone to drive you there is extremely expensive. But even despite the extremely harsh conditions on the section of hell that is North Korea, many leftists on the internet still defend North Korea and blames everything on the West.

North Korea also constantly threatens the world with nuclear destruction. In comics, he is usually riding/sending rockets and is satirically called "Best Korea" or "True Korea".

역사 (History)

김일성시대 (Kim Il Sung Era)

On 9 September 1948, the "Democratic" "People's" "Republic" of Korea was officially established, with Kim Il Sung as the leader. North Korea wanted unify Korea, which was divided by the 38th parallel north, under communism, so on 25 June 1950 he (backed by China and the Soviet Union) invaded South Korea. The North Koreans were very successful, pushing the South Koreans to the edge of their border. But just when it seemed like North Korea was about to win, the United States (along with the United Nations) decides to intervene and the tables were quickly turned. America and allies beat the North Koreans to their northern border with China, which the communist Chinese forces once again turned the tables, pushing the Westerners to around the center of the Korean Peninsula. A peace treaty was signed finally, ending the war in stalemate, the border between the two nations shifting only a little.

Kim Il Sung creates a cult of personality, and the Soviet Union helps North Korea to build himself to a better country. China also tried to do this in competition of Soviet's influence, just to be exploited. North Korea also built up a large military and nuclear program.

김정일시대 (Kim Jong Il Era)

On 8 July 1994, Kim Il Sung dies, and is succeeded by his son, Kim Jong Il. Under his rule, North Korea faces a severe famine in the mid-1990s, resulting in widespread starvation and economic hardship. This was caused by policy failure and also droughts and other natural disasters. Kim Jong Il believed that NK's " Juche" ideology would feed the people without help from outsider countries, and people had to resort into eating grass, bark and rats. This famine is known as the "Arduous March", and 240,000 to 3.5 million North Koreans died due to this.

North Korea sent soldiers to Vietnam during the Vietnam War in 1966. He also sent soldiers to Egypt during the 1973 Arab-Israeli War, Iran in his war with Iraq in the 1980s, Angola in the Angola Civil War between the 1970s and 1980s, Mozambique in the Mozambique Civil War in the early 1980s, and Ba'athist Syria during the Syrian Civil War in the 2010s. North Korean soldiers are basically mercenaries, except they don't get paid and would not like to go home after the mission is completed.

In the early 2010s, a joint industrial complex was built, where North Korean workers were sent to the South to work. But these workers were not allowed to receive cash bonuses because that was " capitalistic". So, the South Koreans gave them Choco Pies instead. People began reselling these delicious treats in the North, creating a Choco Pie black market.

김정은시대 (Kim Jong Un Era)

Following Kim Jong Il's death on 17 December 2011, his son Kim Jong Un succeeded him. Under Kim Jong Un, also known as "Kim the Fatty", North Korea conducts further nuclear tests and missile launches, heightening tensions with the international community, especially neighboring countries like South Korea and Japan. He also faces international sanctions and isolation due to his nuclear program and human rights abuses. North Korea announced that now he is considering the North Koreans and South Korea as separate ethnic groups.

North Korea wanted his own time zone different from South Korea, so on 15 August 2015, he instructed his citizens to put their clocks back half an hour to establish " Pyongyang time". On 29 April 2018, he gave up the idea and reverted.

In 2020, North Korea used COVID-19 as an excuse to extremely lock down his borders, asserting complete control over the people.

In May 2024, North Korea sent a bunch of garbage over the border to South Korea via balloons. North Korea is also using AI to make exploding drones. In October of the same year, North Korean soldiers have been deployed to Russia to fight against Ukraine. The soldiers were given Russian uniforms, Russian weapons, and fake Russian IDs. But, the soldiers desert Ukraine only days after.

“”But, nice for North Korean soldiers since experiencing the hell of war is a nice vacation compared to being in North Korea.

— Chris Chappell

North Korea built a 5000 ton warship and was boasting about it in May 2024. But it flipped over during launch due to the poor quality of the workers and inexperienced people, so despite this ship having components provided completely by Russia it was still broken. Western satellites clipped photos of the flipped ship which enraged North Korea. He "fixed" it in a couple of days but the ship is now without its weapons and is downgraded in quality.

In 2026, North Korea made it so that if Kim Jong Un were to be ever assassinated he would automatically launch a nuke.

To this day, North Korea remains a tightly controlled, isolated state with a nuclear arsenal, capable of massive destruction.

관광 여행 (Tourism)

North Korea doesn't allow independent tourism. Authorities restrict travel within the country. Authorities only allow tourism in groups organized by North Korean officials or by approved travel agencies. An official guide must always accompany travelers. Before December 2024, only Russian tourists can visit North Korea. Americans are also banned from visiting North Korea after 2017.

피해자 (Victims)

오토 웜비어 (Otto Warmbier)

“”I entirely beg you, people and government of the DPR Korea, for your forgiveness. Please. I have made the worst mistake of my life.

— Otto Warmbier

Otto Warmbier was an American college student and a visiter in a guided tour group to North Korea in December 2016. When he was leaving, he got taken off the plane and was sentenced for allegedly trying to take a propaganda poster from his hotel room, and for this he was charged with subversion. He was sentenced to 15 years imprisonment with hard labor. Otto was used as a bargaining chip as the US-DPRK tensions rose. In June 2017, the US managed to secure his freedom and he was released by North Korea. But, he was in a vegetative state from the torture he endured. His feet were deformed and it looked like someone rearranged his bottom teeth with pliers. Otto Warmbier died soon after at the age of 22 when his parents requested his feeding tube be removed.

사회 (Society)

The life in North Korea is hard. Most people do not have food and live in extreme poverty. The government strictly controls all aspects of daily life, including access to information, movement, and employment. Citizens are subject to intense surveillance, and any perceived disloyalty to the regime can result in severe punishment, including imprisonment in brutal labor camps. The regime prioritizes military spending over social welfare, exacerbating the widespread scarcity of basic necessities such as food, medicine, and clean water.

Despite these hardships, the government maintains a façade of prosperity through state-controlled media, which broadcasts propaganda that extols the virtues of the leadership and portrays North Korea as a thriving nation. The population is indoctrinated from a young age to revere the ruling Kim Dynasty and the violent ideology of Juche with education and cultural activities heavily centered around their glorification.

Economic opportunities are limited, with most people engaged in state-assigned jobs that offer minimal compensation. The black market has become an essential part of survival for many North Koreans, who trade goods and services clandestinely to supplement their meager state-provided rations. International sanctions, imposed in response to the regime's nuclear ambitions and human rights abuses, further isolate the country and contribute to the economic difficulties.

정치 (Politics)

The politics of North Korea are continued by a game of gamble and guessing. You make a wrong bet, you will lose everything, including status, wealth, life, and might even drag down your family members. If you make a right bet however, if you guessed right, you will be elevated rapidly through the positions, get everything, winner takes all. It is more intense than Squid Game. Such example of this is Jang Song Thaek, who has been entrusted by Kim Jong Il with a heavy responsibility: assisting Kim Jong Un. But he had secret associations with Kim Jong Nam, and even paid the CCP to elevate his position and status to suppress Kim Jong Un, but Kim Jong Un reversed this by eradicating him completely with an anti-aircraft missile. Jang Song Thaek made the bad bets and lost everything. From a generation of regent to falling to the bottom in an instant. Not only did it bring death upon himself, it also dragged many others with him.

개천 제14호 관리소 (Camp 14)

Camp 14 is a very cruel prison, where people who speaks badly about North Korea are sent. The prisoners were so underfed that they resort to cannibalism, if they're lucky they might find some frogs and mice to eat. The prisoners will also pick through droppings to find undigested grains. Three-generational sentences were extremely common, and a lot of people are there just because their grandpa wasn't patriotic enough. The 15,000 people who live in this camp spend their days working from 5 AM to midnight in coal mines, clothing factories and farmlands (they don't get paid, of course). Children older than 11 also have to report in for work after school. A lot of people in the camp spend their whole lives there, never having heard of anything called "human rights".
