Pyongyang is the capital
of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK). The population of
the city is estimated at 2.5 million (4.0 million including the suburbs).
Administratively, the city was separated from the southern province of
P'yongan in 1946. Pyongyang has the status of Chikhalsi, a directly administrated
city, the same level as the nine provincial governments of the DPRK stricto
sensu. Located in a plain, on the Taedong River and the junction of the
rivers Pothong, Japzang and Sunhwa, Pyongyang is lined with mountains in
the north-east, which are exploited for gold and coal.
