== North Korea in a nutshell ==

''North Korea'' is the commonly used short form name for the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (or DPRK), a state located in East Asia, in the northern half of the Korean Peninsula, with its capital and largest city being the city of Pyongyang.

To the south, separated by the Korean Demilitarized Zone, lies [[South Korea]], with which North Korea formed one nation until division following World War II. At its northern Amnok River border are [[China]] and, separated by the Tumen River in the extreme north-east, [[Russia]].

North Korea is widely considered to be a Stalinist dictatorship. The country's government styles itself as following the "Juche" ideology of self reliance, developed by Kim Il-sung, the country's former leader. The current leader is Kim Jong-il, the late president Kim Il-sung's son. Relations are strongest with other officially socialist states: [[Vietnam]], [[Laos]], especially [[China]] and [[Russia]], as well as with [[Cambodia]] and [[Myanmar]]. Following a major famine in the early 1990s, due partly to the collapse of the Soviet Union (previously a major economic partner), leader Kim Jong-il instigated the "Military-First" policy in 1995, increasing economic concentration and support for the military.

North Korea's population of roughly 23 million is one of the most ethnically and linguistically homogeneous in the world, with very small numbers of Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, South Korean and European expatriate minorities.
