North Korea has a communist state government under a totalitarian dictatorship. It is a one-party totalitarian dictatorship led by the Kim family through the Workers' Party of Korea (WPK), with Kim Jong Un as the current supreme leader. The government highly centralizes political power, and elections are non-competitive with only a single party-approved candidate running. The country functions under a constitution that defines it as a socialist state, but the political and ideological unity of the regime overrides civil liberties and political rights. The government branches (executive, legislative, and judicial) are all controlled by the WPK, and there is a strong cult of personality around the Kim family. The government also follows a "military first" policy prioritizing the Korean People's Army in state affairs.
