North Korea is located on the Korean peninsula in the Sea of Japan in south east Asia. It is bordered by China to the north, the Sea of Japan to the east, South Korea to the south and Korea Bay to the east.
The 38th parallel defines the southern border with South Korea – as defined by the United Nations following the Korean War.

The Population of 23.5 million (2008 figure) comprises 99.8% of Korean origin, with 0.2% ethnically Chinese. Some 55.6% of the people are non-religious, 15.6% atheist, 12.3% traditional beliefs, 12.9% Ch’ondogyo, 2.1% Christian, and 1.5% Buddhist. The capital city is Pyongyang.
