The Regime
North Korea is solely governed under a corrupt, Communistic regime, which is then dictated by North Korea's 3rd Supreme Leader, Kim Jong-un. In 1945, soon after the war, Korea split in two, North Korea began to to fend for itself, and did quite well ("LibertyInNorthKorea.org"). But then, when the Korean War began, Korea suffered many losses. This was the primary turning point leading to their current economic depression stage ("LibertyInNorthKorea.org").
When news of the nations presently declining income was heard of in North Korea in the early 1970's, Kim Jong-il, their current leader, was afraid of North Koreans revolting or deserting the nation to live in South Korea ("LibertyInNorthKorea.org"). So, he established a number of laws and rules that forced all citizens under supreme obedience to him ("LibertyInNorthKorea.org"). He erected statues of himself to ensure his place as the ultimate ruler of the people ("LibertyInNorthKorea.org") He also took control of all possible forms of media, and restricted international travel to near-isolation ("LibertyInNorthKorea.org"). This "revolution" was the beginning stages of what is now the modern North Korean government ("LibertyInNorthKorea.org").
Since then, the North Korean regime has further expanded the ideas of Kim Jong-il, and still hold him in the highest honor to this day ("LibertyInNorthKorea.org"). From his "revolutionary" ideas, the most despicable of practices have arisen ("LibertyInNorthKorea.org"). Public executions for the most small of offenses, many carried out for the main purpose of survival ("LibertyInNorthKorea.org"). Hundreds and hundreds imprisoned every year in political death camps for things such as expressing their own personal beliefs and practices ("LibertyInNorthKorea.org"). These and many more atrocities are the doings of the present regime of North Korea.
