The '''Democratic People's Republic of Korea''' ('''DPRK'''),{{Efn|Korean: 조선민주주의인민공화국}} commonly known as '''North Korea''', is a country located in [[Asia|East Asia]]. It is one of a handful of self-proclaimed [[Socialist state|socialist states]] in existence in the modern world. It is bordered to the south by the [[Republic of Korea]] (South Korea) and to the north by [[People's Republic of China|China]] and [[Russian Federation|Russia]].<br />
<br />
The DPRK is led by the [[Workers' Party of Korea]] (WPK). According to its constitution, the DPRK is an "independent socialist state" guided by the [[Juche idea]],{{efn|Typically translated as "self-reliance", "agency" etc.}} an [[anti-imperialist]] [[nationalist]] derivative of [[Marxism–Leninism]] originally codified by the country's founding leader, [[Kim Il-Sung]].<ref>[https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Socialist_Constitution_of_the_Democratic_People%27s_Republic_of_Korea_(2019) Socialist Constitution of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (2019)]</ref> The DPRK has continued to advocate [[communism]] even to the present day,<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0z2_p0Np4Gs Kim Jong Un gives Historic Speech, clarifying Party's Programme for building Socialism and Communism].
