North Korea (Korean: Bukjoseon[1]), officially the Democratic People's Republic of Korea or DPRK (Korean: Joseon Minjujueui Inmin Gonghwaguk[2]), is the state comprising the northern part of Korea, between China and South Korea. Its capital and largest city is Pyongyang. Korea was split into two states following World War II, and the North has been ruled by a communist Soviet-inspired dictatorship ever since, first under Kim Il-sung and then under his son Kim Jong-il.
