All Socialist Legal Systems of East Asia and Cuba

Legal systems of states that kept a socialist model after the Soviet Union, namely Cuba, Vietnam and North Korea, where the party and a single constitutional order shape the courts and codes. A legal system belongs here when its cited article describes the law of one of these states as socialist. It excludes the Soviet Union and general accounts of socialist law. Former socialist states that adopted a market civil code sit with the civil law groups, and China sits in its own entries.
