The whole situation, managing border depictions worldwide, is a rathole. You just can't win.

> You just can't win. This, in a nutshell. Some border disputes are straightforward, and choosing one depiction over the other could be considered ethically better than choosing the other depiction. Other disputes are intractable without just displaying based on the worldview of the viewer. By picking a side, you can't do any business in a country, often. By showing the worldview (or legally mandated worldview) of the viewer, you abide by local law and don't have to worry about your employees being arrested. Pick your fights and your venues wisely. :)
