Explanation:

South Korea is a state in East Asia, occupying the southern half of the Korean Peninsula, with a population of 52 million people. It is a presidential republic with a democratic form of government. Although it was one of the poorest countries in the world after the Korean War, its economy has since grown rapidly and has become one of the Asian tigers. Today, South Korea is a fully developed country with a world-class economy and the 11th highest GDP in the world.

On the other hand, North Korea, on the northern part of the Korean Peninsula, has a population of 23 million. It is a communist state, that has the third largest army in the world (some 1.3 million soldiers). But the country is very relegated in terms of industrial development and food sovereignty, being 177º at the Human Development Index world rankings, with a per capita GDP of approximately $1,700 a year.
