North Korean Government

North Korea's government is a highly centralized, authoritarian regime led by the ruling Kim family, currently Kim Jong-un. It operates under a ideology called Juche, emphasizing self-reliance and strong leadership. The state controls all aspects of life, including media, economy, and the military, with political power concentrated in the ruling party and government institutions. Dissent is suppressed, and leaders are worshiped akin to divine figures. While officially organized as a socialist state, its governance is characterized by strict control, limited personal freedoms, and a focus on maintaining the regime's stability and power.
