There would just be a power vacuum and not much would change for the people of North Korea unfortunately.

His sister would take over. She has been in the spotlight a lot lately. He already killed his aunt and uncle, and who knows how many other family members, so she is one of the few left.

Wow. Had to look this up. A defector said the uncle was executed by firing squad of anti aircraft guns - another says he was ripped apart by 120 hungry dogs.

I guess we really dont know what goes on behind the scenes but that is some next level super-villain stuff.

It was pretty wild from what I recollect. They shot one shell, then had the uncle stand in the depression and scattered him to the wind. Still better then being subjected to slave labor for life I guess...

His sister is very scary. She's very involved with propaganda and often speaks out against South Korea. The only thing keeping her from being successor is how patriarchal North Korea is.

That bitch is just biding her time. She's devious.

If anything, standards would drop until whatever new power settles in, especially if there's in-fighting. Sure, there's not much right now, but it can always get worse.
