North Korea

North Korea officially the Democratic People's Republic of Korea was a communist country in East Asia. It constituted the northern half of the Korean Peninsula and bordered China and the Soviet Union to the north, and South Korea to the south at the Korean Demilitarized Zone. Pyongyang was the capital. 
Following the Third World War, during which it's head of state, Kim Il Sung was assassinated, the country was dissolved and re-united with South Korea into the unified Korea.
==History==
North Korea and South Korea were the result of World War II. During this conflict, Korea was occupied by Japan. After it had been freed from Japanese occupation, two Korean states were established - one socialist, backed by the Soviet Union, and one democratic, established by the United States. This caused the eruption of a conflict known as the Korean War, which took place between 25 June 1950 and 27 July 1953, and caused the formation of the Korean Demilitarized Zone. Kim Il Sung became the country's leader, looked upon as a superhuman and a near-God by his people.
After China bailed out of the Third World War following the assassination of the People's Liberation Army's high command in Tibet, many other communist Asian countries bailed out of the war - excluding North Korea. They promised to aid the Soviets in their battles, and send their armed forces to Europe. This prompted NATO to react - they sent Martin MacDonald and Vernon Dudley to assassinate Kim Il-Sung in public to send a message to the Communists, which they managed to do.
Following Kim's assassination, the country spiraled into chaos, and eventually surrendered; dissolving and uniting with South Korea into the newly-united Korea.
