Korea Congo-Style Naming

A userscript that enforces formal, state-accurate naming for Korea, inspired by
the international naming distinction used for the two Congos.

Just as:

• Republic of the Congo
• Democratic Republic of the Congo

are treated as distinct and explicit entities, this script applies the same
principle to Korea.

What this script does

• Converts ambiguous uses of "Korea" into context-appropriate forms
• Handles DPRK and South Korea naming consistently
• Covers edge cases including:
  • Plurals and possessives
  • Parenthetical references
  • Abbreviations
  • Grammar-sensitive replacements
  • Currency references (won)
  • Case preservation (lowercase, uppercase, title case)

Scope

This is not a simple word replacer.
It operates on dynamically generated text, including search results and injected content.
