Although the North Korean government said that the test was not dangerous, many other countries and the United Nations were nonetheless enraged. </p><p>Three years later in 2009, North Korea did another test, which broke a United Nations law called Resolution 1718, which said North Korea could not keep building and testing nuclear bombs. </p><p>In 2010, a South Korean warship sank, killing over 40 soldiers. An international investigation concluded that North Korea had sunk a South Korean warship with a <a href="/wiki/Torpedo" title="Torpedo">torpedo</a>. North Korea strongly said that it did not have anything to do with the sinking. When the United States and South Korea planned to set up defenses in case North Korea tried to attack again, North Korea's National Defense Commission threatened on to start a war with its nuclear weapons. </p><p>In April 2012, North Korea launched a rocket called Bright Star 3. The reasons for the launch were science and the 100th anniversary of the birth of the country's founder, <a href="/wiki/Kim_Il-Sung" title="Kim Il-Sung">Kim Il-Sung</a>. </p><p>The government said the rocket carried a weather <a href="/wiki/Satellite_(artificial)" title="Satellite (artificial)">satellite</a> so the government could find out what the weather would be. However, other countries said that the weather satellite was a story made up by the government so the real purpose of the rocket would not the known—which most countries thought was to test a nuclear missile that could be launched at the United States or South Korea. South Korean leaders said it would shoot the rocket down when it came over South Korea. </p><p>Because of this rocket, other countries stopped helping North Korea, even though the government invited other countries to see the rocket launch to make it seem like the North Koreans had nothing to hide from other countries. The rocket was eventually launched, but it did not work and crashed just a minute and thirty seconds after it was launched. In December 2012, the government tried to launch the rocket again. It worked this time and went into orbit circling the Earth, though the United States said that it was very unstable and might fall back to Earth. Experts in Europe noticed the satellite's reflection was fluctuating (getting brighter then dimmer); indicating that the satellite is tumbling in its orbit. </p><p>In February 2013, North Korea tested a nuclear bomb for the 3rd time, causing much outrage from other countries. The government also released many videos that depicted possible missile targets in the United States. North Korea however does not posses missiles that could reach US mainland but some say Hawaii is a possibility. It is highly unlikely that North Korea would ever fire against the US, Japan or South Korea. Many missiles depicted in DPRK parades are fakes used to exaggerate North Korea's military strength.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citing_sources" title="Wikipedia:Citing sources"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.

However, the KWP also controls the other parties so it can stay in power. The <a href="/wiki/Constitution" title="Constitution">constitution</a> claims that North Korea's citizens have freedom of speech, religion and press. In real life, these citizens do not have these rights. People can be jailed if they criticise the party, government, or leaders. North Koreans are encouraged to report family members to the police if they think they are doing something illegal. In return they get more privileges. If someone is caught doing a crime, their whole family will be sent along with them to a labour camp. Most die there, but a few escape. </p><p>North Korean people have very little <a href="/wiki/Freedom_of_speech" title="Freedom of speech">freedom of speech</a>. They get their news from the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA). The KCNA makes sure all the country's <a href="/wiki/Television" title="Television">television</a>, <a href="/wiki/Radio" title="Radio">radio</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Newspaper" title="Newspaper">newspaper</a> news makes the government look good.

The government runs an <a href="/wiki/Intranet" title="Intranet">intranet</a> service that is available on all North Korean computers. It is nothing like the real Internet but is filled with propaganda that makes the government, party, and leaders look good.

This is due to the government not wanting to allow North Koreans to earn their own money outside of their government-given jobs, to allow people to work the jobs they want, and to trade with other countries. </p><p>Although Pyongyang (which is the one of the few areas foreign travelers are allowed to visit) makes the country look like it is richer and more prosperous than it truly is, life looks extremely different throughout the rest of the country. Only the highest-ranking North Koreans are allowed to live in Pyongyang, and they must have permission from the government to do so. Unlike the rest of the country, people often own cars and bicycles, there is a subway system, and power exists throughout the city. Meanwhile, very few people in the <a href="/wiki/Rural_area" title="Rural area">countryside</a> own a car, or even a bicycle, and animal-drawn carts are very common. Electricity in rural areas is rare, if it even exists at all. Proof(?) of this is that when seen from space, there are almost no lights that can be seen outside of Pyongyang. Even in Pyongyang, <a href="/wiki/Power_cut" title="Power cut">power cuts</a> are common. </p><p>As said earlier, <a href="/wiki/Starvation" title="Starvation">starvation</a> is very common way to die throughout the country.

As a result, people often steal human <a href="/wiki/Feces" title="Feces">poop</a> to <a href="/wiki/Fertilization" title="Fertilization">fertilize</a> the soil. People also go out into nature to look for anything to eat such as grass, bark, frogs, worms, etc. </p><p>Since the government does not provide the average North Korean person enough resources to survive, most North Koreans get what they need from the black market. Even though buying and selling on the black market is illegal, people are able to avoid punishment by bribing officials. They might give things such as money, gifts, or sexual favors. Most people buying and selling at the black market are women. This is because all adult men are required by law to go to work during workhours, even when their workplace cannot or will not pay them for their work. </p><p>Since electricity is rare throughout North Korea, tasks such as cooking and washing clothes take much longer and are more tiring. People often wash clothes in a river or creek and must start fires before they can cook. </p><p>Although <a href="/wiki/Health_care" class="mw-redirect" title="Health care">healthcare</a> is free in North Korea, most <a href="/wiki/Hospital" title="Hospital">hospitals</a> and doctor's offices do not have the medicines or supplies needed to correctly treat patients. As a result, many patients die or become crippled for the rest of their lives in the hospital. On one occasion, North Korea hired an eye surgeon from Nepal to because there was not a single eye surgeon in the country. </p><p>In order to raise money for the country, the government sometimes sends North Korean citizens to its allies, like China and Russia, to do work there. These jobs include food service in North Korean restaurants and <a href="/wiki/Logging" title="Logging">logging</a>. Even outside of North Korea, these North Koreans are often not allowed to interact with the local people outside of work, are forced to live in North Korean communities, and must obey North Korean laws. </p><p>Other ways North Korea makes money is through selling illegal drugs to other countries, making fake money of other countries, and stealing money online. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Culture_and_Religion">Culture and Religion</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=North_Korea&veaction=edit&section=8" title="Change section: Culture and Religion" class="mw-editsection-visualeditor"><span>change</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-divider"> | </span><a href="/w/index.php?title=North_Korea&action=edit&section=8" title="Edit section's source code: Culture and Religion"><span>change source</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Historically, both <a href="/wiki/South_Korea" title="South Korea">South Korea</a> and North Korea have had the same set of values.
