I can't believe you can just see "TURKEY" in big letters from space just like that. Must have spent a ton of advertising money.

    They haven't even updated it to their preferred spelling of Türkiye!

    Turk here. That is not my preferred spelling, since , you know, exonyms are exonyms, and we sure as fuck did not take any action about Corn or Our "TurkeyLand" (Mısır, Hindistan [Egypt, India])

    Also, it would be fucking hilarious if India ever changes their name to "Bharat" (or variant) since "Baharat" is "spice" in turkish.
