Something to do with the C being pronounced as an "s"?

Hmmm
I was thinking maybe something to do with the short code CO being taken by some other country, but I guess that's too far off the mark as well.
The "properties of the K v C"
Hmmmm
* scratches chin *
EDIT: Also, North Korea and South Korea both use the K.....
* re-scratches chin *
EDIT2: Ah but if it happened before WWII they hadn't split apart by then
* unscratches chin*

A 'K' can often be 'silent'??
