North Korea (
listen),
officially the
Democratic People's Republic of Korea (
DPRK;
Chosŏn'gŭl:
조선민주주의인민공화국;
Chosŏn Minjujuŭi Inmin Konghwaguk), is
a country in
East Asia, in the
northern part of the
Korean Peninsula. The capital and largest city
is
Pyongyang. North Korea shares a
land border with
China to the north and
north-west, along the
Amnok
(Yalu) and
Tumen rivers. A
small section of the Tumen River also forms North Korea's short border with
Russia to the northeast.
[7] The
Korean
Demilitarized Zone marks the boundary between North Korea and
South Korea. The legitimacy of
this border is not accepted by either side, as both states claim to be the
legitimate government of the entire peninsula.
