    Nerd sniped me

    The fuck’s wrong with you? (I guess that wasn’t directed at me)

    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.
