Republic of Korea   Its irritating to that this page is titled South Korea which is nothing more than a regional designation Maybe a page on the unique geographical or culturalhistorical happenings on the southern part of the Korean peninsula would be accurately named but there doesnt seem to be a good reason not to redirect to Republic of Korea China for instance isnt the page name for the Peoples Republic of China There are plenty of other counter examples of course Japan being the name of the page for the State of Japan or Zimbabwe for the Republic of Zimbabwe or a dozen others but these names are so close to their formal names as to only designate the form of government Because of the DPRK and ROKs mutual use of the term Korea this isnt a satisfactory alternative South Korea reads increasingly anarchronistic a vestigal designation from the Korean war when the difference between the two countries was most importantly locationgeographic in the sense of military holdings and a division which was supposed to be temporary Does anyone have thoughts on this or an argument why we shouldnt use a nations preferred English designation for itself
