Yes, along with a government that is more powerful and/or capricious than elsewhere. It's not just North Korea: it's also Palestine (one week's notice in March), São Tomé and Príncipe (one week's notice late last year), Northern Cyprus (twelve days' notice last October), Sudan (two weeks' notice last October), and best of all Tonga where there was no notice even after-the-fact for last November's change, due to the government being dissolved, and as far as I know the airline industry is now unofficially in charge of Tonga's clocks.
