North Korea has a communist style government. Its capital is P'yongyang. The government of North Korea is very secretive, so much so that they are referred to as the "Hermit Nation", because of this cultural divergence little is known about their demographics. However, we do know that the population is around 22 million people, and 99% of the population over 15 is literate. Also, the government sets up state-controlled religious institutions to give the illusion of religious freedom to the people. There is no migration to or from the country; population growth rates are due solely to births and deaths. The life expectancy at birth for a North Korean is, on average, around 71 years.
