Country Overview

North Korea is a republic in the northern part of Korea, which has been divided since 1948, with Pyongyang as its capital. Since the end of the Korean War (1950–53), the border with South Korea has been a heavily fortified and impermeable armistice line that runs near the 38th parallel.

Four fifths of North Korean territory is mountainous. To the east the mountains drop steeply to the Sea of ​​Japan, to the southwest they merge to the Yellow Sea in coastal plains and valleys. The climate is cool-temperate. The long winters are severe and dry, the short summers hot and humid.

The country has only half the population of South Korea, although it is a quarter larger. The population consists almost entirely of Koreans. The southwest is the most densely populated. People are closely monitored. Freedom of expression and freedom of the press do not exist. North Korea is sealed off from the outside. Nobody is allowed to travel or leave the country without permission.

The economy is largely planned and managed centrally. Agriculture generates a fifth of the national economic output. Nevertheless, it cannot supply the population with sufficient food. As a result, farmers have been able to sell some of their products on open markets since 2012. North Korea has large reserves of raw materials, especially coal and metal ores. The industrial plants are outdated and the infrastructure is poor. New hydropower plants are supposed to remedy the energy shortage.

North Korea is a dictatorship with the Communist Party of Work Korea as a state party (communism). Since the partition of Korea, the father, son and grandson of the Kim family have been at the forefront of state and society, and since 2011 Kim Jong Un (* 1984 ). His power rests primarily on the army, one of the largest in the world.

North Korea has been developing and testing long-range missiles and nuclear weapons since the 1990s. Penalties have therefore been imposed internationally. In the meantime and from 2019 there were also negotiations to dissuade North Korea from its nuclear program. The People’s Republic of China is North Korea’s most important alliance and trading partner.
