It's weird they use this as their "English-language" name but I don't really have a point, just hoping to watch a thread become a comment shit show

It makes just as much sense as calling it Türkiye.

I'm sorry. I don't see the character difference. What did I miss?

The 2 dots on the "u", I think they are mandatory in English too (not so sure, though)

Yes it’s mandatory by law, there are penal sanctions and chance to get blacklisted by Türkiye and Erdoğan if you don’t abide.
