North Korea calls itself the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, but nobody else calls it that. It also claims to control the entire Korean peninsula.
The executive order doesn't purport to rename the department, it explicitly authorizes executive agencies to use a set of additional “secondary titles” for the department and its officials whose legal title includes the legal name of the department.
