In the modern world, it is less and less common to meet countries with a powerful totalitarian regime. Especially in a region where democratic values are actively developing. North Korea is rather an exception and a phenomenon. Amazing is the loyalty of the bulk of the population to the inherited dynasty.
You can treat this country differently, but some laws and regulations border on absurdity.
Television
There are only three channels in North Korea. All these channels are owned by the state and are heavily censored. A special committee decides what Koreans can watch and what is harmful.
Punishments
North Korea has one of the most brutal punitive systems. It may seem wild, but not only the offender is punished for the crime, but his entire family. To exclude attempts to escape, three generations are punished at once, grandmothers, parents and children.

Hairstyles
A kind of Face-control has been introduced in the DPRK. The hairstyle and haircut can only be selected from 28 patterns. Departure from this rule is fraught with serious punishment or imprisonment.
Rules in sports
Believe it or not, the DPRK has changed the rules of the basketball game.
There is no explanation for this, most likely it was done in order to somehow annoy the Americans, whom the Koreans blame for all their troubles.
Residence permit
In the capital of North Korea, only those whom the government considers worthy can live. A permit is required to reside in Pyongyang. It is very difficult to obtain such permission. They say that the cost of such a document reaches $ 100,000.
Education
Parents hold on! In Korea, parents have to pay not only for textbooks, but also for a desk and chair. In fact, the parents of the student completely buy him a study place. Moreover, it will not be possible to pick up the furniture after training. It will be sold to another family.
Religion
The Bible is a forbidden book in the DPRK. Since it can serve as a teaching aid and instill in people the wrong values from the point of view of the government. The death penalty is threatened for keeping the Bible.
Drugs
Although for the distribution of hard drugs, certain death awaits in the DPRK, marijuana is not considered a drug at all. You can buy this herb in bags at the market. There are no prohibitive rules regarding this plant.
