This has been classified as an Enhancement, not a bug in Gemini, which I suspects means it is not going to get fixed any time soon. I have written the following scripts to update your UserProfile tables to fix the problem if you need it (users of the Smart-Thinker UserProfile Location Search module will need it). I'll add any more countries as I find them (you will need to run this SQL periodically - there are a couple of new modules on the market that allow you to set SQL jobs, I'll set mine to once a month).

I suggest you understand the SQL below by first running this to see the problem - not you will need to change the value of propertydefinitionID (mine is 48 on PokerDIY.com) to the ID of the Country Property Definition on your site.

select * from userprofile where propertydefinitionID = 48 and propertyvalue = 'Iran, Islamic Republic of'

update userprofile set propertyvalue = 'Iran'
where propertydefinitionID = 48 and propertyvalue = 'Iran, Islamic Republic of'

update userprofile set propertyvalue = 'Macedonia'
where propertydefinitionID = 48 and propertyvalue = 'Macedonia, the former Yugoslav Republic of'

update userprofile set propertyvalue = 'Moldova'
where propertydefinitionID = 48 and propertyvalue = 'Moldova, Republic of'

update userprofile set propertyvalue = 'Taiwan'
where propertydefinitionID = 48 and propertyvalue = 'Taiwan, Province of China'
 

Hope this helps...
