I checked Reykjavik and...

^R[AEY]+[CK]+[A-Z]+V[EI][CK]

It's the very lenient and powerful "[A-Z]" in the middle of the type-in that leads to this fun oddity. "RACHEL WEISZ DRIVES A HONDA CIVIC" would also work lol

Imagine not just typing SJK for Sri Lanka’s capital. Other useful acronyms are FSM (Federated States of Micronesia, ROK (South Korea), DPRK (North Korea), ROC (Taiwan), PRC (China), USA (United States of America), UAE (United Arab Emirates), UK (United Kingdom), PNG (Papua New Guinea), DRC (Democratic Republic of the Congo), BSB (Bandar Seri Begawan), and HCMC (Ho Chi Minh City) for speed abbreviations

Also, KSA for Saudi Arabia.

"China" falls easier/faster under the fingers for me than PRC.

"Congo" is better than DRC as it gives you both Congos.
