    North Korea isn’t a monarchy. It’s a necrocracy. Officially the first Kim is still leader, despite being dead.

        It basically is.

        Weird mix between Fascism, and Theocracy.

        Interesting read on this:

        The Cleanest Race: How North Koreans See Themselves and Why it Matters is a 2010 book by Brian Reynolds Myers. Based on a study of the propaganda produced in North Korea for internal consumption, Myers argues that the guiding ideology of North Korea is a race-based far-right nationalism derived from Japanese fascism, rather than any form of communism. The book is based on author’s study of the material in the Information Center on North Korea.
