North Korea

From Heterodontosaurus Balls

“ We must eradicate all the enemies of our revolution, leaving not a single trace of their existence.
— North Korean propaganda

North Korea, officially the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) is a totalitarian country with communist philosophy. He is located in east Asia, on the north half of the Korean Peninsula. He is known for exploiting his population, starving peasants while getting the highest level of comfort himself, and being very, VERY isolated.

North Korea is very full of himself, believing that he is the superior being to all those on Earth.

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 to the 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 this isolated section of hell, many leftists on the internet still defend North Korea and blames everything in the West.

North Korea also constantly threatens the world with nuclear destruction.

역사 (History)

On 1948, September 9, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea is officially established, with Kim Il-Sung as the leader. North Korea wanted unify Korea under communism, so on June 25, 1950, the North Korean forces (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.

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.

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 the “ 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”. 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. North Korean soldiers are basically mercenaries, except they don’t get paid and would not like to go home after the mission is completed.

Following Kim Jong-Il's death on December 17, 2011, his son Kim Jong-Un succeeded him. Under Kim Jong-Un, 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 also announces that now he is considering the North Koreans and South Koreans as separate ethnic groups.

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.

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

북한에서의 생활 (Life in North Korea)

Note: this section contains common theories and the informations might not be entirely true. Read at your own risk!

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 its economic difficulties.

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 15000 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 payed, 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”.
