Which is the only reasonable way. A map has to be useful, it’s not their fault a government has changed things.

Their government didnt change things. They chucked a hissy fit and made unfounded demands, Google decided to appease the crybabies rather than having an ounce of integrity.

On a practical level, if a government decides to refer to it by whatever name in advisory notices and alerts, it’s useful to have the map reconcile with that name
