In terms of a physical territorial border, these two countries were first separated by the 38th Parallel and later by the DMZ or Demilitarized Zone.

In terms of an ideological difference, North Korea has consistently been a dynastic Communist State while South Korea was a Fascist Republic before becoming a modern Democracy.
