North Korea, officially the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), is a country in East Asia. It constitutes the northern half of the Korean Peninsula and borders China and Russia to the north at the Yalu (Amnok) and Tumen rivers, and South Korea to the south at the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ). The country's western border is formed by the Yellow Sea, while its eastern border is defined by the Sea of Japan. Pyongyang is the capital and largest city.
“Democratic Korea, its leaders and its people will always live in our feelings of revolutionaries, patriots and fighters for the triumph of socialism.”
“You made us believe, Comrade Kim Jong-il! We cannot live without you. Our country cannot exist without you!”
“What hope could I have living in a country where I can't do what I want?”
“We went over there and fought the war and eventually burned down every town in North Korea anyway, someway or another, and some in South Korea too.”
“Though North Korea is somewhat tolerant of Buddhism, it has very little tolerance for other major religions, including Christianity. In the past, Christianity had become so prevalent on the Korean Peninsula that was once called the “Jerusalem of the East.” But now, if a North Korean is caught with a copy of the Bible, it’s not uncommon for the entire family to be put into a prison camp.”
“North Korea is a country ruled as a cult. At the center of this military cult is a deranged belief in the leader's destiny to rule as parent protector over a conquered Korean Peninsula and an enslaved Korean people.”
