Please refer to former threads about the names of Taiwan and Macedonia. I am *not* ready to handle more of these discussions. The discussion about the name of Taiwan happened around April 2004 in -devel The discussion about the name of Macedonia happened in second half of 2004 in -boot, IIRC. When the Taiwan issue raised up, it took up to a DPL decision to finally settle the issue to use the "common names" of countries in case the official name implies high controversial and political issues with no real solution. For Macedonia, the compromise is accepted by most of the two "parties", namely the Greek and Macedonian users. So, we will definitely *not* fix this. Don't try to convince me as my own opinion was using the official names. Anyway, the issue does not even pertain to localechooser but rather iso-codes which provides the relevant information.
