I am listed as a user from "Kingdom of Norway", why is that?  By using that instead of the correct country "Norway" the data used in many lists is empty.

Can you change this.  We are not using the name "Kingdom of Norway".  The name for our country is "Norway".

 

Best regrads,

Where are you listed like that?
But you are incorrect in the name. the official name of the county see
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norway
The same in the Norwegian constitution
https://no.wikisource.org/wiki/Kongeriget_Norges_Grundlov_af_17de_Mai_1814
and in the current form se

I agree that it is a form of the name that is seldom used and should probability be changed
Sweden if officially Kingdom of Sweden
ant the for a long name UK: United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland
Yes and no. Then also countries like Germany should be named as Federal republic of Germany Thats nonsens. So also here only Norway is enough. (in the German version it is only Norwegen)

Sorry for the half year old answer. I have never seen this question myself (missed it somehow, I try to read all of them).

I believe this has been fixed now however. We have stopped using some of the data we had, that was pretty much a duplicate.

The name Kingdom of Norway came from an external data source.
