don't like em?

make sure to refer to widely recognized legitimate government of North Korea as "the Kim regime".

The US state department has an extra special designator in this case, simply referring to North Korea as "The North", implying slightly that South Korea's claim over the entire peninsula is a little more valid than the post 1950 international consensus.

See also: the common practice in industry & the US military of referring to South Korea as merely "Korea". This persisted at least through the 2000s. Exports from South Korea are commonly labeled "made in Korea". This is technically correct, but would be like saying something from one of the North or South Dakota is from "Dakota".
