Swaziland -> Eswatini

+2 votes

I am not sure if this already has been pointed out before, but I noticed that Project-GC still uses Swaziland instead of the current name for the country, Eswatini. Geocaching/Groundspeak does use Eswatini, so that may be confusing for some. Not sure how much time/work that would be, but it would be nice to see this updated on PGC as well.

This is actually done automatically, but with some latency. As soon as one of the geocaches in the country is refreshed in Project-GC, like for example when it gets logged, the country name should update.

Can't promise it's working as it should, but I manually refresh one of them and they all updated their country names.

And how does that work with the filters on this site, for example the 'Only people from' list? Will the country name also automatically get updated eventually?

I forgot to write that there will be anomalies for ~24 hours. There are a lot of cached data that will be out of date and such. The site isn't really designed for renaming countries. It will correct itself though.
