Juche

Juche is a totalitarian, economically left to far-left, culturally conservative and ethno-ultranationalist ideology inhabiting the top center of the authoritarian left quadrant. He believes in a highly centralized state, self-sufficiency, and a strong devotion to his country's leadership. He believes the best way to achieve socialism is through strength and self-sustainability.

History
The term Juche is a Korean word meaning "self-reliance". The ideology was first mentioned by Kim Il Sung in a 1955 speech. In a speech of his a decade later, Kim Il Sung developed the ideology further, developing its three main principles, those being economic self-sustenance, political independence, and self-reliance in national defense. The ideology was further developed by Kim Il Sung in various other speeches and writings.

Juche has been the ruling ideology of North Korea, formally called the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), since its conception. It, being the governing philosophy, has greatly impacted North Korean governance, leading and contributing to their highly isolationist, nationalistic and militaristic tendencies.

Kim Il-Sung did not intend for Juche to only influence Korea, and believed the ideology to have the potential for international influence. Starting in 1976, the DPRK has organized multiple seminars on Juche outside of their own country.

Juchesasangpa
Juchesasangpa was a small, pro-DPRK movement in South Korea that supported the Juche ideology.

[[File: Strato.png]] Songun
Songun is a doctrine where the military is viewed as the most important part of the nation and thus is the most powerful organ of the state that gained presence after Kim Il-sung's death in 1994. It is based upon 4 principles made by Kim Il-sung that are to arm the entire population, fortify the state, train every soldier to become a cadre, and to modernize the entire military sector. The government puts the military as the top priority in resource allocation and for consideration in government policy and decision making.

Stylistic Notes

 * Very fanatical, almost as much as John Travolta.
 * Anti-religious but believes himself to be a god.
 * Will get very upset and violent if ridiculed.
 * Temperamental, and will be set off by even the slightest disrespect.
 * Launches nukes at anybody he disagrees with, although the nukes are cheaply made and don't always work.
 * Oppressive in the streets but dirty in the sheets with hot North Korean soldier girls.
