The largest concentrations of population are found in the western provinces, particularly in the municipal district of Pyongyang and around Hungnam and Wonsan in the east.

 

traditionally Buddhist and Confucian, some Christian and syncretic Chondogyo (Religion of the Heavenly Way)

note: autonomous religious activities now almost nonexistent; government-sponsored religious groups exist to provide illusion of religious freedom
