DPRK

DPRK stands for the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, commonly known as North Korea. It is a tightly controlled, communist-led country on the northern part of the Korean Peninsula. North Korea has a centralized government with a strong military focus, led by the Kim family dynasty. Its economy is largely state-run, often isolated from international markets, and it has developed nuclear weapons, which concerns global security. The country is known for strict internal control, limited foreign influence, and a focus on self-reliance, or "Juche." Despite its military strengths, North Korea faces economic challenges and international sanctions.
