So, it looks like Kim Jong Il will be succeeded by Kim Jong Un.
I've often thought countries name themselves after aspirations, rather than reality.
For example, the Democratiic People's Republic of Korea is not at all Democratic, is run for the advantage of a single despot, has a tissue paper Constitution, and occupies only half the Korean peninsula.
Similar examples abound.
