North Korea (Atlantic Resolve)

North Korea, officially the Provisional Socialist Republic of Korea (PSRK), is a country in the East Asia and the successor state of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK).

Government
Ri Yong-Gil overthrew Kim Jong-un in a coup sponsored by the People's Republic of China during World War III. The new North Korea is effectively a Chinese protectorate in everything but name.

Defense
Officially, the Korean People's Army (KPA) is the primary military of defense of North Korea. In practice, however, the Chinese People's Volunteer Army (PVA) are the true military power in the country due to better manpower and equipment.

Economy
Due to severe economic damage suffered during World War III and the forfeiture of the Kaesong Industrial Region to the Republic of Korea as per reestablished armistice between North and South Korea, the new North Korea is heavily dependent on China economically.
