This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Look at the pic, all of Korea is red.
Sorry if I didn't explain it well. What I mean is that dprk considers itself the "true" government of the Korean peninsula, and their terminology generally reflects this. Due to the functional reality of the ongoing conflict, "South Korea" is used often. Though it's used rarely, "North Korea" (literally north, functionally "unoccupied" or "free") does still show up occasionally in language.
