Description
The protomaps basemap should have a mechanism for disputed map labels.
For example, Turkey is the only country that recognizes TRNC as a country, see wikipedia https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_Cyprus. So a map localized to Turkey should show TRNC as a country label.
Related are divisions and perspectives in the new overture schema https://docs.overturemaps.org/schema/reference/divisions/division/
