Yes. It is a typical communist country, in that the people can vote, but, they can only vote for one person-a communist. The leader of North Korea does not allow a free press, or allow people to have much control over their lives. North Koreans have been known to starve to death, or flee to China, to escape tyranny in North Korea. North Korea recently torpedoed and sunk a South Korean ship, which almost equal to declaring war on it's southern neighbor. North Korea is certainly run by a dictator and one who's mental abilities have been the subject of much negative speculation.
North Korea is widely considered a dictatorship by Kim Jong il who is under the title Chairman of the National Defense Commission of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea who in a monarch like fashion succeeded his father Kim Il Sung who died in 1994 who still holds the title of 'Eternal President'.
North Korea attempted to reunite Korea in June 1950 under a single communist government.
Korea was subject to and part of China under Qing dynasty
It's in Asia, right below North Korea.North Korea and South Korea is separated because of a war that happened long ago. There still are many families that are separated from each other.
1) China: 1.2 billion Chinese live and work under Communist regime nation. 2) North Korea: 25 million Koreans live under a somewhat unique totalitarian state. it has a Juche ideology. All references to communism have been purged from its constitution, but it has elements of communism, fascism, and leader worship. North Korea's political system is very different from China and Cuba. 3) Hong Kong, Macau: China communist/capitalist experiment state. Taiwan, South Korea and Japan: Democratic and Capitalist Nations. Actually, to clarify, Macau and Hong Kong are Special Economic Zones that are controlled by communist Beijing, but are allowed free-markets. China (mainland) is communist ruled but feeds off of capitalist markets for wealth. North Korea is a total communist dictatorship. Taiwan is capitalist, democratic, has never been communist, and is a separate nation with its own elections, president and government system, though China threatens them militarily to join the mainland.

Yes because north Korea is not Communist, but south Korea is. in south Korea they have absolutely zero freedom of speech.Answer:The previous answer is completely wrong. North Korea is communist and South Korea is a democracy. Most accounts assume that North Korea has almost no freedom of speach, however, much of what we know about North Korea is speculation, since it is the most isolated country in the entire world.
North Korea is often referred to as a non-communist dictatorship, as it operates under a totalitarian regime and is ruled by the Kim dynasty. However, it officially identifies as a socialist state.
