North Korea is an authoritarian state led by Kim Jong-Un, the third ruler of the Kim dynasty. Constitutionally, the Korean Workers’ Party (KWP) is the country’s ruling party, while the Supreme People’s Assembly is the highest organ of state power. In practice, however, these institutions operate under Kim’s leadership, and political power is highly concentrated in the supreme leader.
