The rule of law is the principle that the actions of government and those in power should be based on the law, and not on their personal whim.

japan is a democracy and hence it adheres in the rule of law in the running of government. that was not the case however before ww2, when there was an absolute monarchy who believed was from god.

North korea on the other hand is a communist regime, controlled by a dictator. the leader's words is final. the leaders have a practice of killing or dissident voices, and therefore this government is not based on the rule of law.

Philippines is more of a transitioning democracy where by both the leaders word and the voice of law is evident as influencing government decision, and actions.
