Its official name is '''Democratic People's Republic of Korea''', but its government does not follow Western ideas of [[democracy]] ([[French Revolution]] aside). Rather, it is organized along [[Stalinism|Stalinist]] lines. Its Supreme People's Assembly is merely a rubber-stamp parliament.<ref>https://www.upi.com/Top_News/Special/2010/05/21/North-Korea-slammed-over-Cheonan-sinking/UPI-48941274459460/</ref>

North Korea has socialist prison camps in which children are born and spend their entire lives in the camps.
The official North Korean ideology is known as [[Juche]] (which roughly translates as "national self-reliance"), and since the mid 1990s, [[Songun]] ("military first").
