Error on map in Statistics!
-
Hi,
I need to point to a big problem related to map view in statistics of visiting a wordpress blog.
WordPress.com should not publish maps (images) of newly created states in the world!! Especially when those states are not internationally officially accepted!
At first I’m talking to Kosovo as part of Serbia’s territory!
wordpress should be a politically independent!
Cheers!

The service we use to translate IP addresses to countries returns an ISO 3166-2 code. Kosovo was included in Serbia’s ISO code ( “SR” ) as of the ISO I-8 Newsletter.
Google Maps (which we use for the map) shows borders for some territories regardless of internationally recognized sovereignty — which is why it shows up in the map.

Thank you, I’m glad that it is not Worpress team error.
From the above mentioned company it is not a surprising fact.
All the best from Serbia to you and your team members!
