Italy - changes in provinces in Sardegna region

[RamiKrispin]

Hi,

I am working with Italy data, and I noticed that the provinces of Sardegna region in Italy are not updated:

> italy_map <- rnaturalearth::ne_states(country = "Italy", returnclass = "sf") %>%
    dplyr::filter(region == "Sardegna")
> italy_map$name %>% unique %>% sort
[1] "Cagliari"          "Carbonia-Iglesias" "Medio Campidano"   "Nuoro"            
[5] "Ogliastra"         "Olbia-Tempio"      "Oristrano"         "Sassari" 

On 2016, the provinces Carbonia-Iglesias, Medio Campidano, and some part of Cagliari were merged into new province - South Serdinia (source (Wikipodia)[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Province_of_South_Sardinia]).

Therefore, when plotting Italy provinces, with the new provinces setting, this is the results:

Thanks,
Rami

@RamiKrispin I believe that the rnaturalearth package is just an interface for the data from https://www.naturalearthdata.com/. You probably should point them to this problem using https://www.naturalearthdata.com/issues/.
