## Civilization Stats

**Tier 10: Atomic:** North Korea has a military nuclear weapons program and, as of early 2019, is estimated to have an arsenal of approximately 20–30 nuclear weapons and sufficient fissile material for an additional 30–60 nuclear weapons. North Korea has also stockpiled a significant quantity of chemical and biological weapons. In 2003, North Korea withdrew from the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT). Since 2006, the country has been conducting a series of six nuclear tests at increasing levels of expertise, prompting the country to come under sanctions.

## Power Sources

**Science:** Construction (The means of production are owned by the state through state-run enterprises and collectivized farms.) Intelligence/Healing (Most services such as healthcare, education, housing and food production are subsidized or state-funded.) Hacking (North Korea developing their cyber warfare capabilities.)

**Nature:** Human Physiology (The members of the faction are humans with standard skills in combat)

## Conquest Stats

The Korean People's Army (KPA) has 1,106,000 active and 8,389,000 reserve and paramilitary troops, making it the largest military institution in the world. With an active duty army of 1.21 million, consisting of 4.8% of its population, the KPA is the fourth largest military force in the world after China, the United States and India.

## Strengths/Pros

The greatest strengths that the North Korean regime is their ability to control the media and thus their population at large, instilling a campaign of brainwashing propaganda and fear spreading to keep the defiant in check. Those who resisted are tortured or killed, while those brainwashed view their supreme leaders like gods and providers and will defend the nation to the last. North Korea functions as a highly centralized, one-party state. According to its 2016 constitution, it is a self-described revolutionary and socialist state "guided in its activities by the Juche idea and the Songun idea". In addition to the constitution, North Korea is governed by the Ten Principles for the Establishment of a Monolithic Ideological System (also known as the "Ten Principles of the One-Ideology System") which establishes standards for governance and a guide for the behaviors of North Koreans. The Workers' Party of Korea (WPK), led by a member of the Kim dynasty, has an estimated 3,000,000 members and dominates every aspect of North Korean politics. It has two satellite organizations, the Korean Social Democratic Party and the Chondoist Chongu Party which participate in the WPK-led Democratic Front for the Reunification of the Fatherland of which all political officers are required to be members. They have even developed their means of cyber attacks on the west with some aid from Chinese and Soviet influences.

## Weaknesses/Flaws

North Korea officially describes itself as a "self-reliant" socialist state, and formally holds elections, though they have been described by outside observers as sham elections. Outside observers also generally view North Korea as a Stalinist totalitarian dictatorship, particularly noting the elaborate cult of personality around the Kim dynasty. Their means of supply and demand go to high government officials, leaving the rest of the population to starve.
