Why did the soviets add an extra S to their name? I don't think Maoist standard English had been invented yet, why didn't they just go with "United States of Russia"?

    I constantly do that with ROC and ROK. I swear I've seen Korea spelled with a C in some circumstances too. I'm never confused when I'm reading these in context (It's usually obvious what nations are involved from context anyway), but when it comes time for me to USE the acronyms I get confused.

    Still, ROK vs DPRK. I feel like DPROK is better. Say it "Deeprock" or something unless deeprock already means something.

    Glad to.inspire people anyway, even if it was from a fuckup
