It may seem strange to some that North Korea, one of the most secretive countries in the world and one of the most restrictive places on Earth, has actually produced some of the best economic growth in Asia in recent years. The country’s government regime can be pretty harsh on its citizens, including limiting travel and many forms of communication with foreign countries. Why are they able to accomplish this? Why have the ‘Great Leader’ and the powerful DPRK military been able to rule the country with an iron fist? As it turns out, there is a particular set of reasons behind why North Korea’s strict rule regime works – let’s take a look.

You will learn:

    • The history of North Korea’s rule
    • The benefits of strict rule
    • The challenges of implementing strict rule

The history of North Korea’s rule

The Korean peninsula was annexed by Japan in 1910 and remained under its rule until after World War II. The Soviet Union invaded North Korea in 1945 and the United States invaded South Korea in 1950. Neither of these occupations was successful as both countries retreated after a few years. With tensions still high, North Koreans allied themselves with the Soviet Union, which led to the outbreak of war between North Korea and South Korea. The 38th parallel, which separated these two countries for decades, is now the border between North (Democratic) and South (Republic) Korea. In 1948 after three years of fighting, an armistice agreement was signed by both sides but no peace treaty has been signed since then.

The benefits of strict rule

It’s been nearly 70 years since North Korea was established as a communist country and they have stayed true to its founding principles. The result of their strict rule is a nation that is self-sufficient, stable, and prosperous. There are some downsides to this, but it can be said that North Korean society has worked very hard for this to happen. For example, when North Koreans go on vacation they’re required to carry their passport with them at all times–even when they are in their own homes. This might seem like an overreach by the government, but it does more than just keep people safe from terrorism. In fact, it also ensures that there isn’t a need for ID checks everywhere you go because the state already knows where everyone lives–and what job they do.

The challenges of implementing strict rule

Strict rule regimes are not without challenges. For one, they are often met with heavy opposition from the populace who may feel that their freedoms are being limited. This is especially true in North Korea where an oppressive regime has been in place for decades. However, North Korean society has remained more or less stable over that period, largely because the regime is able to keep a tight grip on the population and maintain order. In other words, it works.

The effect of the strict rule on the people of North Korea

North Korea is often seen as an example of a country with an oppressive rule regime. There are many reasons for this, but it is worth noting that North Korean citizens are also the most loyal in the world. The government has been able to keep power over its people by strictly regulating all aspects of their lives. This includes everything from what they can wear, where they can go, and what they are allowed to say and do. These strict rules have created a society where people have very little independence or free will, but in return, they have security and stability which allows them to focus on the here and now instead of worrying about whether there will be enough food tomorrow or if the government will fall next year.

Conclusion

In conclusion, North Korea has a strict rule regime that is holding the country together in the face of economic sanctions and outside pressures. And it is doing so by employing a system with centralized control, which concentrates power in the hands of one man and his family. But it is also worth noting that there are some aspects of this system that might not work in other countries. North Koreans are highly disciplined, for example; they don’t want to disappoint their Dear Leader or risk facing severe punishment if they do anything against his wishes. They also have a great deal of respect for the military, another highly influential institution in North Korean society. 

The dictatorship is working because it has been able to take advantage of these powerful forces while preventing any other faction from arising that could challenge its rule.

 

FAQs

What is not allowed in North Korea?

In North Korea, you’re only allowed to believe in the one true leader of the country, Kim Jong-Un. You’re not allowed to have a religion or hold any political beliefs other than those that are approved by Kim Jong-Un. You’re not allowed to watch TV or read newspapers from any other country. You can’t watch South Korean films and music or listen to anything that doesn’t come from North Korea and is approved by the government. If you disobey these rules, there will be consequences.

How strict is North Korea?

Since the end of World War II, North Korea has been ruled with an iron fist. The country is ranked last in a list of 167 countries in terms of freedom by the Freedom House and the Economist Intelligence Unit. The nation’s strict rule regime is enforced through tight control over information, extreme punishment for any form of dissent, and isolation from the outside world.

Why are we not allowed in North Korea?

The reason North Korea is so strict is that they have a regime that constantly monitors the people. Here are some of the reasons why North Koreans are so strictly monitored. 

-North Korean citizens are not allowed to enter and exit the country freely. They have to apply for an exit visa, which is only given in exceptional circumstances, such as business or humanitarian trips.

Why is North Korea so difficult?

North Korea is one of the most difficult countries in the world to understand. The government has a strict rule regime that governs every aspect of life for its citizens, including how many children can be born, what type of clothes they wear, and how much food they get. One way to understand why North Korean society is so difficult is by looking at the famine that killed upwards of 3 million people in the 1990s.

Every decision that North Koreans make must be approved by their government before it becomes law.

Can you take pictures in the DPRK?

To take pictures in the DPRK, you need to submit your camera to customs and they will review it. You can’t take any photos of soldiers or military installations. If you’re taking a tour with a guide, they will give you the option to take photos but if not, it is highly advised that you don’t try to sneak any shots.

Does North Korea allow condoms?

You may have heard that North Korea is a very strict regime. And it is. But do they allow condoms? Contrary to popular belief, the country does allow some forms of birth control and contraceptives for married couples, but there are two major caveats. First, the types of contraceptives available in North Korea are limited, and second, only married people can get them – single people cannot.

Can North Koreans marry foreigners?

According to the North Korean constitution, citizens are only allowed to marry other North Koreans. That means that if you’re a foreigner, it’s not possible for you to marry a North Korean without special permission from the government.

Can you watch youtube in North Korea?

The short answer is no, you cannot. North Koreans are restricted to government-controlled media and live in a country where access to the internet is heavily restricted or even blocked altogether. There are three international internet service providers operating in the country, but they are expensive and cannot be accessed by ordinary citizens. The only people with access to the web are those who work for the government or state-run companies, as well as foreigners living in Pyongyang who need it for their jobs.

Who can visit North Korea?

Only those granted a visa to visit the country and approved by the government can enter North Korea. Tourists, journalists, diplomats, NGO workers, and other foreigners must apply for visas through their respective embassies in Beijing. In order to be granted a visa and enter North Korea visitors must be screened by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Ministry of Public Security.
