As of yesterday, the FYROM has officially changed its name to (Republic of) North Macedonia. Can this be changed on PGC as well?

The country names are a direct copy of the names in Groundspeak as far as I know.

When geocaching.com is changing so is PGC

I think you just have to wait. First step is official change of name. Second step is implement it to geocaching.com. After that tools on Project-GC will not work for this state, so it will be necessary to change it here. IMHO it is not possible to change it here earlier, because the tools may not work properly until geocaching.com change the name. There was a similar situation recently when Czech Republic changed to Czechia.

We will see. Think the name has to be an official name in the UN list. Then GC will perhaps rename it. But then it becomes a technical issue with all the caches been found etc etc.
