They are not semi-democratic, idiot ^^^...they run a democracy just like the USA.

The Korean War, from June 25, 1950 to cease-fire on July 27, 1953 (the war has not officially ended), was a civil war between North Korea and South Korea. When conflicts began, North and South Korea existed as provisional governments competing for control over the Korean peninsula due to the Division of Korea. The Cold War-era conflict was a proxy war between the United States and its allies and the communist powers of the People's Republic of China (PRC) and the Soviet Union. The principal combatants were North Korea, supported by People's Volunteer Army (PVA) of the People's Republic of China, and later Soviet combat advisors, aircraft pilots, and weapons; and South Korea, supported principally by the United States (U.S.), the United Kingdom (UK), Canada and the Philippines, although many other nations sent troops under the aegis of the United Nations (UN).

In South Korea, it is often called "6·25" (the date of the start of the conflict), or, more formally, Hanguk Jeonjaeng (한국전쟁). In North Korea it is formally called the "Fatherland Liberation War." In the United States, the conflict was termed a police action, as the Korean Conflict, under the aegis of the United Nations rather than a war, largely in order to remove the necessity of a Congressional declaration of war. The war is sometimes referred to in the West as "The Forgotten War," primarily because it is a major conflict in the 20th century that is rarely referred to in everyday life.

Therefore, Korea split into two: one being communist, the other leading a democracy. North Korea won't allow South Koreans much less anybody inside their country.

Much like the relationship between the Yankees and the Confederates during our Civil War, family members on both sides. However, the relationship of North and South Korea is much closer ethnically as most are Koreans. As I'm not Korean, I hope I didn't state any inaccurate information regarding either side.

North Korea is a communist country, with a dictator ruler similar to Saddam Hussein.

South Korea is a democratic country with similar to USA government.

Technically after the korean war, nobody signed the treaty, so it is technically a cease fire.... technically they are still at war. If you goto a south and north border, heavy army personnel with mines all over the place...
