    Democratic People's Republic of China is what I believe he was referencing, though it's officially the People's Republic of China - maybe confusing the PRC with the DRC (Democratic Republic of the Congo)?

      Probably confusing it with North Korea, which is officially the "Democratic People's Republic of Korea".

  Is has been observed many times that there seems to be an inverse relationship between the qualifiers in the name of a country and the conditions in said country. Example: http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2019/08/22/1108-republics/ http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2019/08/22/1108-republics/
