hey guys what's up it's Charlie here and
today we're going to be looking at 10
crazy laws that only exist in North
Korea North Korea is one of the most
bizarre countries on earth with no other
countries or unions around to interfere
they can enforce any laws they want on
their people and these are the craziest
of all of their laws before we start be
sure to LIKE the video and subscribe and
comment I subscribed and I'll try to
reply so coming in at number 10 that we
have crying it's natural to cry when
someone close to you like one of your
parents or grandparents passes away but
most people probably don't cry when
their nation's leader passes away in
North Korea however this is not an
option the leader of North Korea is
treated like a god and citizens have to
pray to a statue of him every day the
current leader of North Korea is the
infamous Kim Jong-un however for for
2012 the leader with Kim jong-un's
father Kim jong-il all citizens were
forced to attend his funeral service and
they all had to cry those who didn't
attend or even did attend such didn't
cry enough was sentenced to six months
in a labor camp which many ex-prisoners
have compared to Hitler's concentration
camp so there can be no one to manly and
tough to cry in North Korea next up we
have haircuts when you go to your barber
or hair salon you might get a
conservative haircut or a more out there
haircut it's nice to have a choice right
well in North Korea you don't have this
choice not only do you have to get a
conservative haircut you also have to
pick from a government-approved
selection of just 14 haircuts with women
generously being allowed 18 haircut the
country really seems to care about hair
as in 2004 they released a six-part TV
series called a lettuce trim our hair in
accordance with a socialist lifestyle
the title might not be that catchy but
with the lack of TV stations in North
Korea the show pulls in a good amount of
viewers the government also have
surveillance cameras in public places to
catch people who don't have
state-approved haircuts to catch and
punish any crazy rebels who decide to
get their hair cut a centimeter too
short next up we have bible in America
and many other parts of the world Bibles
are everywhere and it wouldn't be
uncommon to see one in a bedroom through
all all in a hotel room however in North
Korea Bibles and any other religious
practices are fan and this includes
other
text such as the Torah and the Quran the
government are worried that people will
learn that freedom exists as might even
begin to worship religious figures
rather from their country's leader if
anyone is found with the Bible even if
they're a tourist is confiscated and
they could face punishment if there are
system or deportation if there are
tourists so if you are a devout
Christian then I suggest not going to
North Korea next up we have television
so many watching TV is a popular pastime
whether you like to binge watch trashy
TV or keep up with current events well
in North Korea's there's only two
television channels available but it's
not exactly HBO and ABC the channels are
owned and strictly controlled by the
state and the purpose of both channels
its promotes North Korean propaganda one
of the channels shows public service
announcements of propaganda such as the
hair theories that we talked about
before the other provides news however
the news is often inaccurate and
revolves around promoting Kim jong-un
and of course criticizing and lying
about the United States and its allies
next up we have no cars I'm sure you
can't walk outside without seeing a car
or two well in North Korea if you walk
outside chances are you won't see any
cars at all only certain people such as
people working in government are allowed
to own a car because they do have a
comparable to the American cars of the
1970s as North Korea hasn't caught up
with automobile technology probably
because the number of people who have
cars in North Korea is so small in fact
only one in every 1,000 people own a car
to put that into perspective in the
United States one in every one point
three people own a car in fact there's
such little traffic that people tend to
just walk on the roads of rather than on
the sidewalk as the chances of being hit
by a car are pretty much zero next up we
have three times while it's not good to
lounge around all day doing nothing it
is nice to relax after a long day's work
however in North Korea there's no room
for free sign everyone must work at
least 70 days straight and if they want
to take a day off if they have to pay a
lot of money the citizens have a six day
work week with an extra forced day of
volunteer work this means there's no
free time in North Korea this is so the
economy is as good as they can make it
because North Korea doesn't trade with
other countries if their economy is very
weak as North Korea these people as
restore
is that rather than people so simply use
them for labor next up we have no photos
if you go on vacation that there's no
doubt you'll want to take a few holidays
labs but if you decide to take a trip to
North Korea then it you're going to come
into some trouble if you want to
photograph your vacation it's illegal
for tourists to take photos of North
Korean citizens if they're not dressed
well it's also illegal to take any
photos of people who are malnourished or
poor images that show North Korea as
being inefficient and not having enough
resources are also not allowed and of
course the photos of their military and
government buildings are also banned in
North Korea and despite the fact that
the government spies on their people
with cameras all over major towns
citizens advance to the most part from
owning cameras unless they're Kim
jong-un's appointed propaganda
photography next up we have women
soldiers while you might think that a
country so stuck in the times witness
gives women many of Rights North Korea
do allow women in their army and have a
whole unit dedicated to them however
this doesn't mean that the female
soldiers of North Korea have it easy to
become a soldier they have to go to a
brainwashing military camp where they
learn phrases such as we are killing
Americans and when they graduate they
have to work for hours and hours every
day they're frequently used in parades
to make the country look good and as a
result of this they have to have the
exact same haircut and wear the same
miniskirt uniform there are also often
tied together by the neck with wire to
keep them all in line and looking good
in parades it safe to say that this army
is one of the most poorly treated in the
world next up we have family punishments
if you commit a crime you go to jail and
then at you're released simple well
things are very different in North Korea
if you commit a crime it's not just you
who suffers the country has a law called
three generations of punishment this
means if someone commits a crime and not
only would they be punished by their
parents and their wife and kids will be
too regardless of your parents you may
be old aged or your kids who may be
young or even unborn the whole family of
a person who's broken one of those
career strict rules are sentenced to
work in labor camps with no food or
breaks and sadly most people's going to
make it out and next up we have voting
while North Korea is a dictatorship
meaning they have no choice over who
their leader is it's the laws that every
citizen has to vote otherwise they can
be sent to a labor camp you don't think
about the voting system
all Korea is so there's only one
candidate Kim jong-un no one else has
the money power or voice to run against
him and while there have been times when
others have been listed on voting
ballots as well as Kim these were just
fake political leaders that were made up
to make North Korea looks more fair
North Korea's official name is the
people's democratic republic course
career but it looks like they're people
don't get much democracy and that just
about wraps up this video check out the
poll in the top right corner and you
guys can boats the craziest law but as
