North Korea, also known as the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), is a country located in East Asia, occupying the northern half of the Korean Peninsula. It is bordered by China and Russia to the north, and by South Korea (officially known as the Republic of Korea or ROK) to the south. North Korea has a population of around 25 million people and is ruled by the Kim dynasty, with Kim Jong-un currently serving as the country's leader. North Korea is known for its highly centralized and authoritarian government, which controls nearly every aspect of citizens' lives and severely restricts their freedom of expression and access to information. The country's economy is heavily controlled by the state, and it is one of the poorest and most isolated countries in the world. North Korea is also known for its nuclear weapons program and its tense relationship with the United States and other Western countries. The country has conducted several nuclear tests and has developed ballistic missiles capable of reaching the mainland United States, leading to international sanctions and efforts to denuclearize the Korean Peninsula. In recent years, North Korea has engaged in a series of negotiations with the United States and South Korea, including a historic summit between Kim Jong-un and U.S. President Donald Trump in 2018. However, progress towards denuclearization and improving relations with the West has been slow, and tensions between North Korea and the United States have continued to flare up.

Albania is a country located in southeastern Europe, on the Balkan Peninsula.

Albania has a population of about 2.9 million people and the capital is Tirana. Albania has a long and complex history, with roots dating back to ancient Illyria. It has been conquered and ruled by various powers throughout its history, including the Romans, Byzantines, Ottomans, and Austro-Hungarians. It declared independence from the Ottoman Empire in 1912, but was later occupied by fascist Italy during World War II. After the war, it became a communist state under the rule of Enver Hoxha and remained isolated from the rest of the world until the collapse of the communist regime in the early 1990s. Since then, Albania has made progress in transitioning to a market economy and integrating with the international community. It is a member of the United Nations and the Council of Europe, and has applied for membership in the European Union. However, the country still faces challenges, including corruption, organized crime, and high unemployment. It is also vulnerable to natural disasters, such as earthquakes and floods.
