This is a very minor issue, but requires database access to fix. Currently in the occurrence editing interface, if you try to enter "Taiwan" as the country, it suggests "Taiwan, Province of China". I probably don't need to explain why this is problematic, but just in case... According to Wikipedia, "'Taiwan, China', 'Taiwan, Province of China', and 'Taipei, China' are controversial political terms that claim Taiwan and its associated territories as a province or territory of China." This wording was inherited from the original Symbiota code. We should change it to just "Taiwan", as there is no need for SCAN to take such a political position on the status of Taiwan.
