The Northern state separated from the South and in 1948 became officially known as the Democratic People's Republic of Korea; it has a communist government. At the end of the Korean War, the 1953 armistice upheld the division of the country along practically the same border.

The first stamps of North Korea were issued on March 12th, 1946.
