Jing-il continued his father's rabid hold on the nation of North Korea, where the citizens have virtually no rights whatsoever. He, however, also held the strongest of all militaries and was still generally less brutal than his father was. In December 2011, Jong-il died from a series of stroke and heart failure and was soon succeeded by his son [[Kim Jong-un]]. After his death, he was made an Eternal Leader of North Korea, and a bronze statue of him was built next to Kim Il-sung's.
