Description

Some of the currently used long labels are outdated. E.g. "Poland, Peoples Republic of" is now "Poland, Republic of".

E.g. Phycobank Registration 100118 ff.

WHK: Just wanted to select "Poland", why I have to select "Poland, Peoples Republic of". With this selection from 1945+, we do not get acceptance from Polish colleagues.
How to change these strange political values? Or - why we can not use the English short names?

Note: the handling of long and short forms of country representations is handled in #4209
