If the worst thing that happens to the people of North Korea is that we call their country "North Korea" instead of "DPRK", I think they'll be fine. (Obviously, that's not the worst thing that happens to people there.)

The nation is neither democratic, nor is it for "the people", nor is it a republic - but instead a totalitarian dictatorship run for the convenience of one man and his favored associates. But it is Korean. One out of four isn't too bad, I guess.
