People's Republic of Korea (DPRK; Chosŏn'gŭl: 조선민주주의인민공화국;
Chosŏn Minjujuŭi Inmin Konghwaguk), commonly called North Korea
(About this sound listen), is a country in East Asia, in the
northern half of the Korean Peninsula. Its capital is Pyongyang,
the country's largest city by both land area and population. The
Amnok River and the Tumen River form the international border
between North Korea and China. A small section of the Tumen
River also lies along the border between North Korea and Russia,
technically following the river's thalweg. The Korean
Demilitarized Zone forms the boundary between North Korea and
South Korea. The legitimacy of this border is not accepted by
either side, as both states claim to be the legitimate
government of the entire peninsula.  Show new selections below
