Illegal in North Korea!

North Korea not the best of places to visit if you're planning a vacation.

These are some strict and strange laws in North Korea which you'll absolutely find insane

1: No Bibles allowed

This completely totalitarian government demands that no person should believe in a power higher than that of itself apparently the North Korean government has tried to convince the general public that the Kim family has godlike powers. 

If that doesn't scream God complex, we don't know what will. According to the law there it is illegal to carry a Bible or any other religious book and anyone found in possession of one can be punished by prison time.

2: North Korea has some very specific rules on hairstyles

According to North Korean law there are 28 government approved hairstyles that's ten for men and 18 for women. Anything other than these 28 hairstyles is considered illegal. The weirdest aspect of this law is that Kim Jong Un's iconic haircut isn't on the list he's the only one in the country with that particular hairstyle. 

3: Regulated driving

You might want to reconsider asking for a car for your 16th birthday if you're in North Korea. 

North Korean law states that the only people allowed to drive a car in the country are state officials and VIPs, if the numbers are to be believed only 10 out of every 1000 people in North Korea own a car. The use of public transportation is highly encouraged so unless you plan on getting yourself a government job. Transportation is going to be a bit of a problem for you.

4: North Korea doesn't offer its citizens the freedom to move to another city

If a citizen wants to move to Pyongyang, they need to get the government's permission first the capital city is reserved for the most successful and loyal citizens both qualities are determined by the government. 

5: Controlled television

Regardless of how much TV North Koreans watch they don't get a say in what they watch exactly because in North Korea all television content is regulated by the government. The authorities offer the citizens a grand total of three channels to choose, from all of which are controlled strictly by the state. 

6: All for one and one for all

If there's one thing that doesn't pay in North Korea, It's crime. The North Korean government has a lot in place to prevent criminals from escaping prisons which involves punishing the entire family bloodline of the escaped criminal all the way to their grandparents. This particular law is heinous enough for the United Nations to have a serious debate.  

There have even been rumors of starvation and slavery camps in North Korea which is crazy to think about in this day and age

7: No international calls.

North Korean laws prohibit people from making international phone calls. In 2012 a man was shot by the government for making an international call inside the stadium. It caused a massive stampede which resulted in the demise of six people. What made this event worse was the fact that the government refused to take any blame for the action. 

8: No freedom of speech

North Korea firmly believes that freedom of speech is overrated that's why there are so many restrictions over public views.

9: Leaving the country is forbidden

If you happen to be of North Korean descent and you are leaving the country or force any attempts at leaving the country are considered illegal. If any person is found doing so, they are hunted down by the government and punished severely. 

10: The three-caste system

Established in 1957 by Kim Ill Sung, North Korea's three caste system is a law that divides the citizens of North Korea into three different classes. The law classifies people into these three categories based on the political social and economic background of their ancestors.

The law named "Seong bun" determines if a person gets to have access to North Korea's educational and employment opportunities. It also determines if the person in question is qualified to have access to adequate food. 

The North Korean government has denied these allegations and stated that all citizens within the country are treated equally.

However, this statement could be more reliable if North Koreans have such freedom of speech which neighbor South Korea have.
