Oh no! I've been listening to people calling it the DPRK instead this whole time! ;)

Ah! I read your comment a few times before I even saw the transposition. Yes, I just meant the official name of the country as opposed to the slang some Americans use.

"slang some Americans use"? C'mon.

"Corée du Nord" and "Corea del Norte" each have millions of search results (in each case, about 10x as many as the formal name). The BBC says "North Korea".

I try to speak to only what I know, I don't know French.

Why assert the term is American-only slang, then?

I didn't say that, I just said that Americans use it. Anyway, this isn't particularly interesting.
