One of these days I need to make a bot that scans FOSS repos for this kind of little pink nonsense behavior.
The insecurity of wanting to call a place "country name, province of different country name" should alone be mocked. Imagine, "Ukraine, province of Russia," or "India, colony of The United Kingdom." Absurd on its face.
