North Korea ia a coutry of weird rules and laws. Here are some of them:

1. Since the 1994 passing of North Korean leader Kim Il-sung, June 8 has become a day of mourning. On this day, it is against the law to smile, play sports, or consume alcoholic beverages.

2. North Koreans ought to revere their dictator. Anything considered to be a form of blasphemy in North Korea—whether directed at the Kim family, the ruling party, or the politicians—could result in severe punishment.

3. Government employees who are men may only drive. Around 100 people are thought to own cars as a result of the government restriction.

4. It is strictly forbidden to smile or speak loudly on June 8 because it is regarded as disrespectful to the late president.

5. The party leaders who will rule North Korea are chosen through elections. There may only be one candidate, though, and if there is another, Kim Jong-un will use him as a loser-in-chief.

6. Calls from abroad are also prohibited. The act is regarded as unlawful and is punishable by death. A man in 2007 who was killed as a result of making numerous international calls experienced a similar incident.

7. In North Korea, some clothing is prohibited. People are not permitted to wear certain clothing, such as jeans because they are seen as a symbol of capitalism.

8. When a fire starts, the residents are instructed to save the images of the political leaders of North Korea before putting out the fire and putting their own lives and property at risk.

9. Traveler control is a very serious matter. Visitors from outside of North Korea should be closely accompanied at all times by guides or officials, and they must adhere strictly to their instructions.

10. Internet use is strictly forbidden in North Korea. Obtaining access to websites that are governed by the government is only possible in a select few professions.
