The key difference between North Korea and South Korea is that North Korea has a Communist Dictatorial form of government while South Korea has a Republican form of government.
North Korea and South Korea are the two countries that reside in the Korean Peninsula. Originally Korea was a single empire, under the rule of Japan until August 15, 1945, when both these countries gained independence. However, later, the Korean peninsula divided into two countries after the WWII when North Korea didn’t participate in the election in South Korea which was conducted by United Nations.
