In medicine (histopathology), the cells are sometimes described as
"pyknotic" or suffering from "pyknosis" if they are shrunken and dense.

There's also Pyongyang (actually, P'yongyang). That regime also has a
Dictator-for-Life, except their dictator is routinely erratic, and never
benign (millions of starving kids and blanket Stalinism is no joke).
