SUMMARY
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Launch Kitinerary App on Android
2. Click "Settings" button
3. Select "Home Country" Dropdown (it may have United States pre-selected)
4. Attempt to find home country (Taiwan)
OBSERVED RESULT
There is no listing for Taiwan. Bizarrely, there is a listing for a nonexistent
country, "Taiwan, Province of China," which is using the Taiwanese flag. There
is no such country on this planet, so I, nor anyone in this world, can select
it. It's a strange name too, how can a Province be a Country? It probably thus
shouldn't be in the dropdown, both because it doesn't exist, and because it
doesn't make sense for a province to be in a country dropdown. You'll notice
there's no other PRC provinces in the dropdown.
As I understand it, KDE often uses ISO 3166, which is a wonderful resource for
many country names, however it bizarrely also doesn't maintain a listing for
Taiwan. If you'd like an official standard to which you may refer, you might
choose BCP47 which lists Taiwan as the country which uses the zh-Hant-TW
language https://www.venea.net/web/culture-code . Or you may choose to use what
much of the web, iOS, and Android applications use, Unicode CLDR
https://cldr.unicode.org/ which contains Taiwan.
EXPECTED RESULT
There should be a listing for Taiwan.
