When did NK turn from a more or less standard communist totalitarian regime, if one can call such "standard", to a sort of monarchy of the Kims? Well, that's assuming that the dynasty really does hold power, and are not just figureheads for a broader group of elites... which I'm not sure about.

Before that it was pretty much another average USSR dependant country. IIRC Kim 1 had the most relations with the eastern european countries rather than asian ones
