North Korea

North Korea occupies the northern half of the Korean Peninsula, a mountainous, tightly controlled state that remains one of the world's most isolated countries. Pine-covered ridges dominate the interior, while the capital Pyongyang presents wide boulevards, monumental architecture, and a curated stillness unlike any other city on earth.
