Pyongyang, North Korea, Asia

North Korea is actually one of the most ridiculously run nations in the world. Hardly anyone is allowed in, and their president is dead. Yes, this is definitely the makings of a fantastic government...Founded in 1948 by the infamous Kim Il-sung (the country's only president) and his son and heir, Kim Jong-il. After Kim Il-sung's death in 1994, he was not replaced (because North Korea is ludacris) but instead received the designation of "Eternal President", and was entombed in the vast Kumsusan Memorial Palace in central Pyongyang. I know, makes no sense. Who wants a dead president? So, North Korea is definitely run alot differently to Australia. Some people describe it as a "Hereditary Dictatorship," which isn't far from the truth. Hurrah for loonies!
Sneaky!
