HOME North Korea Society Contents Geography A country's location determines its natural environment. Thus, it has a significant influence in the shaping of the country's productive activities, culture, history, foreign relations and national security. The Korean peninsula is located along the middle latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere, extending southward from the northeastern tip of the Eurasian Continent to the northwestern area of the Pacific. Occupying the northern half of the Korean peninsula, North Korea extends from the southern demarcation line along latitude 38 degrees, north to the Yalu River, Mt. Paekdu, and the Tumen River. It shares its northern borders with northeastern China and Russia's Maritime Province. North Korea is located between latitudes 37¡Æ41¡Ë00©÷ (Deungamri, Kangryung county, South Hwanghae Province) and 43¡Æ00¡Ë36©÷ north (Poongseori, Onseong county, North Hamkyung Province), and longitudes 130¡Æ41¡Ë32©÷ (Uamri, Seonbongcounty, North Hamkyung Province) and 124¡Æ10¡Ë47©÷ east (Bidan Island in Sindo county, North Pyongan Province). Geopolitically, North Korea's eastern and western territorial waters are separated, making it impossible to serve the function of providing integrated routes. The landscape in the northeastern part of the country is dominated by rugged mountains and uplands, except for a narrow strip of plains stretching along the eastern coastline. In sharp contrast, the western part of the country is largely made up of plains and low rolling hills.

KIM Chong-il has ruled North Korea since his father and the country's founder, president KIM Il-song, died in 1994. After decades of mismanagement, the North relies heavily on international food aid to feed its population, while continuing to expend resources to maintain an army of about 1 million. North Korea's long-range missile development and research into nuclear and chemical weapons are of major concern to the international community.

North Korean society is dominated by a philosophy known as juche . Juche can be translated as self-reliance and was introduced a half-century ago by the first leader of North Korea, Kim Il Sung. Kim, known as the Great Leader, wanted to distance his fledgling Communist state from China and the Soviet Union. He fashioned juche as a combination of communist ideology and strong Korean nationalism.

Korea GEOGRAPHY LOCATION Korea consists of a mountainous peninsula and 3,201 contiguous islands. It is separated from Manchuria by the Yalu River, Mt. Paektu and the Tumen River. The Tumen River separates Korea from Siberia at its mouth. The Korean peninsula is flanked by two oceans, the East Sea to the east and the West (Yellow) Sea to the west. It lies between 124.11 degrees and 131.52 degrees East Longitude and between 33.06 degrees and 43.1 degrees North Latitude in the northern temperate zone of the Eastern Hemisphere. The standard time is based on the meridian passing through the center of the peninsula along 135 East Longitude. The total area of Korea is about 221,000 square kilometers 99,173 square kilometers in South Korea, 122,827 square kilometers in North Korea. The longest distance in the peninsula from north to south is 600 miles, and the average distance from west to east is 170 miles. TOPOGRAPHY Mountains : The major portion of the country is composed of mountains. Only 30 percent of the total area is flat. There are no vast plains in the country. Most of the more expansive plains lie in the western part of the land. From Mt. Paekdu on the Manchurian border, a huge mountain-range runs southward along the east coast which is often referred to as the backbone of the country. The slopes on the east coast are steep, while those on the west coast are gentle. Korean mountains are mostly low, and their crests are in most cases shaped like plateaus. The average height of the Kaema, the highest plateau in the country, is only 1,500 meters. The highest peak of the nation, Mt. Paektu, stands 2,744 meters high. In South Korea, there are no mountains that exceed 2,000 meters in hight.
