For people still care about this issue, I made a reply in a related

I didn't mean to imply that this was a simple problem to solve (and I agree with
your aim for what that's worth). Simply that we do not want to make political
decisions at all.
I didn't want to get into this discussion, but I've seen this claim made
several times. Siding with UN (or any other p

As Gaetan pointed out, it is not the job of Linux distribution maintainers
to decide country names. But it seems to me this whole issue is not really
about deciding what to name a country as that decision has already been
made by many. The fact is simply that the data being used does not

I could totally understand that you think this is none of your business.
But please kindly put yourself in our shoes, what would you feel when you
try to download iso image of ArchLInux,

No. This is a Linux distribution; deciding what countries should be
called is just not what we do. Our website uses the django country list;
please direct any complaints there.
Well... Given the action taken by some developers in this thread, I can't
imagine what will happen if we take this issue to the maintainer privately.
I understand there is no insult intention by everyine, but by using that
word, it IS offending.

I am the reporter of FS#30444, and I've filed and patched a bug of a
little project with the identical problem:
If you are using iso-codes from extra repo, there is a common name of
“Taiwan, Province of China” which is named “Taiwan”. And by using
that, “Taiwan, Province of China” and “Venezuela, B

I believe servers south of the Mason-Dixon line should be listed under
the country name "Confederate States of America". Un
