What is difference between democratic and republic countries?
A democracy is a form of government, where the average person has a direct say, or vote, in the everyday affairs of the government. The city-state of Athens, in ancient Greece, is a prime example. A republic is a form of government where the average person is represented by someone else in the above-mentioned affairs. These representatives essentially cast their vote, which represents an entire area of the country or a group of people the representatives represent. Prime example of this, is the United States, a democratic republic; very different from a democracy. Not every republic is democratic in nature, though it may be advertised as such. Many totalitarian nations such as the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea), the People's Republic of China (Communist Mainland China) and the late Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (Communist Russia and various satellite states) like to put those words in the name of their country to give its citizens the illusion of choice and freedom. These countries may have a republic as a functioning government, however the elections are usually posed and not "free" or "fair" in even the vaguest sense of the words.

What is the political situation in North Korea?
North Korea or the 'Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea' is politically one of the most oppressive regimes in modern history. Kim Il Sung who ruled from June of 1949 till his death in 1994 and the countries current ruler Kim Jung Il rule with an iron first. Its people are not allowed to have any contact with the outside world and travel is restricted. Using cell phones, the internet, and listening or reading foreign media is forbidden and violating these rules can land you in a labor camp for an indefinite amount of time. Talking unkindly about or even sitting on a newspaper with a picture of the 'Dear Leader' Kim Il Sung can get you imprisoned for life or worse put to death. In every way North Korea is a classic dictatorship. North Korea does have a congress and a political party but its legislative branch is considered by many to be a 'rubber stamp' congress. That is anything that Kim Jung Il and the Korean Workers Party propose gets passed. Anyone who stands up to oppose or dissents will end up in a labor camp or imprisoned. There are LOADS of great books about living in North Korea. To name a few: "This is Paradise! My North Korean childhood" - Hyok Kang "The Aquariums of Pyongyang: Ten Years in the North Korean Gulag" - Chol-hwan Kang "Nothing to Envy: Ordinary Lives in North Korea" - "Barbara Demick" Are some great books to get an understanding of every day life in North Korea.
