What is the D word doing in the country name?
“If you have to tell people you are, you aren’t.”
…and that goes for all these countries:
The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.
The Democratic Republic of the Congo.
The German Democratic Republic.
The original quote comes from the iron lady Thatcher:
“Being powerful is like being a lady. If you have to tell people you are, you aren’t.”
- Margaret Thatcher
