Good morning friends, Steemiados, for some time international news is hovering about the case of North Korea and the United States, the nuclear potential of both and how this can affect the world situation, but beyond all this, we know something from that country officially called the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK).
The Kim family have been its rulers since 1948, they have governed under a philosophy of being totally independent, without maintaining policies towards the outside, they do not maintain world economic policies. This ideology called "Juche" dictates that man is the master of everything and decides everything, for that reason everything governed by what his ruler dictates.
This country went through and through innumerable economic problems, at the end of 1953, the country was supported by the former Soviet Union and China, at this time there was a process of economic growth. But after the fall of the Soviet Union, coupled with alleged economic mismanagement and natural phenomena, the economy declined; So strong was this process that the famine in that time left approximately 600,000 to 1,000,000 dead.

In their own independence from the rest of the world they have their time zone called "Piongyang Time", which was created on August 15, 2015 (30 minutes were retraced to the time zone of Japan and South Korea); have their own calendar, which began to take effect in 1997 and is called "Juche", this calendar begins its year 1 in the year 1912, the year of the birth of its leader Kim Il-Sung and is known as Juche 1 ( if we check for them the year 2018 is the Juche 107)
The largest number of its population live in rural areas, survive with agriculture and animal husbandry, now according to a study conducted apart from their usual means of subsistence are smuggling electronic products from China, their clothing is supervised by the government, is So, they have a list of haircuts for women and men. No constant electric light is rationed, so there is no nightlife, they go to bed very early.
In the capital of the nation, people who are loyal to the regime live, live in a comfortable and normal way, work for the government, the army or in companies of the state, it is a more capitalist type of life, they wear designer clothes, they have possibilities of travel abroad, although in spite of all this, they maintain restrictions in electricity services in smaller proportion.
Studies and research have estimated that the North Koreans are 5 cm lower than their closest neighbors the South Koreans, all due to the poor diet they maintain in childhood, they present problems of malnutrition and atrophy of growth in a third of children.
The population disappointed or in search of better life chances, desert to other countries, it is estimated that approximately 30,000 people have defected. The escape process is carried out by people called "intermediaries" who charge for their services in an approximate amount of $ 2,000.00; they help them cross the barbed wire fences (placed by the current leader), to escape from the military that divide and guard the borders, cross the Yalu River passing to China and then the Mekong River to reach Thailand. There are a number of people who stay in China clandestinely, because they are treated as "illegal aliens" and are not granted asylum, if they are discovered they are deported and returned to North Korea, where they will suffer convictions.
Currently, power is held by Kim Jong-Un, which maintains its authority generating fear, including within its practices, public executions, sending to military work camps, political prison camps and correctional centers.
Although the country maintains economic embargoes and international sanctions, due to all the human rights violations, plus the inconveniences it maintains due to the nuclear arsenal that it possesses and has not been declared in its entirety before international organizations, there are people who They want to visit and do tourism in the country, so they should be aware of the risks they run, the income of these people is fully approved and supervised during their stay by the government
The current drawbacks between the government of North Korea and the United States is because Leader Kim Jong-Un refuses to abandon its nuclear and ballistic missile plans, maintaining a tense relationship between the two governments, at a later date not yet agreed. a meeting between President Trump and the North Korean Leader, of which all the details are not clear. We hope that this meeting can be reconciled with agreements that favor peace and help the inhabitants of the country.
