@joshupetersen North Korea is a strange thing in the modern world. A capitalist feudal absolute monarchy Those with wealth (favored members of the Kim family) control everything and are the landed aristocrats. The peasants are property of the aristocrats. Kim Jong-un is the hereditary monarch and other members of the family are responsible only and completely to him. The system clearly doesn't work well for those low in the system.
