At the helm of North Korea ( an east asian, isolated, impoverished nation) - the 30 year old Kim Jong- un. He looks and acts like a spoilt boy; the problem is, his "toys" include missiles, nuclear weapons, and he's constantly threatening his neighboring country of South Korea, and the USA. He runs his country like a stalinist dictator; human rights are almost non-existing there.
