North Korea
North Korea (ISO 2-letter: KP; ISO 3-letter: PRK) is identified internationally by the calling code +850 for inbound calls. Its internet footprint is minimal; the .kp country-code top-level domain (ccTLD) is tightly controlled and rarely granted, limiting domain registration. The official currency is the North Korean won (KPW), which is non-convertible and typically unusable outside the country, with foreign currencies required in practice. These identifiers are critical for telecom routing, cautious domain inquiries, and compliance-driven financial or business contexts marked by sanctions and restricted trade. Accurate use of these codes supports global directories, data systems, and regulatory frameworks.
