Name changes have happened in history.
Peking became Beijing
Persia became Iran
Siam became Thailand
Bombay became Mumbai
I’m sure there are many others. I know some African countries changed names when they became independent countries rather than colonies of European countries.

Even Old New York was once New Amsterdam.

Name change, that should fix all their problems!

"
East Albania Southern Serbia Western Bulgaria Macedonia, dammit (pronounced "Make-It-Own-Ya!", Greek: Μακεδονια) is, as far as scholars can tell from the flag, a part of imperial Japan. This, however is not recognized by the world, because of the dispute with Faroe Islands."

Looks like my choice didn’t make it. It was Turkeister.

They should also leave NATO, to reflect their culture.

I just hope someday North Dakota and South Dakota can set aside their differences and become Great Dakota.

Türkiye Cumhuriyeti Has been its official name since establishment of the republic in 1923.
This is just a change in transliteration to better indicate pronunciation.
