I notice in the RenderWorld demo you've spelt Iraq as Irak.  Is this a typo, or is this some non English (maybe Turkish?) variation?

In the UK/US/Australia/NZ/Canada it would normally be spelt Iraq.

Ben,

This product was created based on data from US National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency. We have not modified any of the place names so far. I believe that this was an error in their original dataset. Our value added contribution is to render the data in a pleasing way and make it seamlessly compatible with other Map Suite products. Not to dodge around your questions but we do not plan at this time to modify the datasets attributes however with enough user input we may re-consider.

You would not image the amount of uproar we receive on the naming of places. In a world where countries borders are changing and people cannot agree what to call cities or who really controls what we have chosen to remain neutral and not to modify the original data.
