NO. This is debated, but the general consensus is that North Korea is a Dynastic Communist State, not a monarchy.

A dynastic communist state is a country whose rulers are from the communist party but has succession in leadership passing along a dynastic line like a monarchy. Some consider Dynastic Communism to be a form of Absolute Monarchy, because of the key similarity between Dynastic Communism and Absolute Monarchy being the transfer of total power along hereditary lines. However, the majority argue that since the leader of a Dynastic Communist State does not use royal titles, the state is not a proper monarchy.

who has the the better economy north Korea or south?

Technically, South Korea is better because you have more freedom, rights, and there's democracy just like America. However, North Korea limits their citizen's rights to a very little extent, and there is dictatorship, or unfair monarchy. Another reason is that a long time ago, North Korea tried to invade South Korea because of their richer soil and better lands. So I think that South Korea has a much better economy.


Who is on north Korean side of war?

China still regards itself as an ally of North Korea; they both claim to be communist states, although the claim is not that convincing in either case (China has embraced capitalism, and North Korea is just a despotic monarchy ruled by the Kim dynasty) however, China has also asked North Korea to show restraint and to refrain from going to war, therefore, it seems that if North Korea does go to war at this time (2013) it will have no allies. They will be on their own.
