Everything is under the control of the government

Kim has been ruled apart from the whole world for three generations in North Korea. The people here have to be completely loyal to this family, including the current ruler Kim Jong-un. The government here maintains a vast intelligence on citizens. Not only does that control people, but also strictly control the economy. In spite of having a huge shortage of basic products including food, fuel and the country, the government slaps the pebbles in the nuclear and missile programs.
