North Korea does not really have distinct branches of government, with the system being something closer to a complex military-political oligarchy led by the Premier. The internal politics of the North Korean regime are unclear and it may be the case that members of the government hold each other to a certain degree of accountability, but how this works is unknown.
an independent government
Communist.
For all intents and purposes, North Korea is a totalitarian monarchy.
The Government North Korea has today is a Dictatorship. Kim Jong-Il rules the country with mighty power.
Type of Government: DYNASTIC COMMUNIST STATECurrent Leader (as of 2016): KIM JONG-UN
They're all communist countries.
North Korea's economy is a joke. It has the type of government that wont last long .
North Korea is a one-party, socialist, and dictatorial state. The official political ideology of North Korea is called Juche, a combination of Marxist-Leninist principles and self-reliance/self-dependence.
communist, as does Cuba, Laos, China, and North Korea
dictatorship
Officially, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (commonly known as "North Korea" and "Korea DPR") operates under a Juche socialist republic-type government, not a communism. However, in the eyes of the outside public, North Korea is a communist country and, in some extreme views, a Dictatorship.A Juche-style government relies heavily on the motto of "self-dependence". Because of this, North Korea is an extremely isolated nation, torn from the outside world. And, as a result, North Korea's economy reflects on this.
They all have COMMUNIST governments, but beside that they are very different. China has a Leninist Communist Dictatorship, Cuba has a Communist Autocracy, and North Korea is a Dynastic Communist State.
