Can confirm that the more highminded qualifiers in a country's official name, the ****tier the country:
See:
Democratic People's Republic of Korea
Democratic Republic of the Congo
Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal
Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia (noticing a pattern?)
Autonomous Province of Kosovo and Metohija
Great Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya
The Land of the Long White Cloud
