South Korea

Officially the Republic of Korea.

Locality names have been transliterated into English characters a number of different ways. The current preferred standard is the "New Hangeul" system which replaces the older "McCune-Reischauer" system. There is also a metropolitan city governmental division that is on par with the provincial governments.
