North Korea: a mysterious and closed East Asian country
Located in the northern part of the Korean Peninsula, with Pyongyang as its capital, North Korea is a socialist country ruled by the Workers' Party of Korea with its supreme leader Kim Jong-un. The economy is based on a planned economy, with industry and agriculture as the pillars, but development is challenged by international sanctions and closed policies. Culturally, it emphasizes the Juche idea and is famous for traditional arts such as the large-scale group exercise "Arirang", but the flow of information and international exchanges is relatively restricted, and outside knowledge of the country is limited.
