All institutions and economy are state-controlled. Kim Jong Un is the ruler and the Supreme Leader of North Korea. There is a single party in North Korea called the Korean Worker Party (KWP). A single party based system is the only party controlling the North Korea government. The single party was formed by Sim Il Sung, the grandfather of Kim Jong-un, current head of North Korea.
