What are the countries which still practice Communism?

Currently, there remain only four countries that describe themselves as "Communist":

- Vietnam

- People's Republic of China

- Laos (known formally as the Lao People's Democratic Republic)

- Cuba

Past Communist states include any member-nation of the former Soviet Union, along with:

- Afghanistan

- Albania

- Benin

- Bulgaria

- Czechoslovakia

- East Germany

- Ethiopia

- Grenada

- Kampuchea

- Mongolia

- Mozambique

- North Vietnam

- North Korea (known formally as the Democratic People's Republic of Korea) *

- Poland

- Romania

* - Claims of today's DRPK (North Korea) being Communist are somewhat incorrect as modern North Korea follows it's own "Juche Idea".
