oh, thats 100% what happened.

"should we vary what these are called by country?"

"ehh, that would cost like $10,000 of developer time around the globe, just standardize it"

    No its the same as the recent Google move of renaming Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America, it is not easier, it just appeases trumps new mandates. Open Map systems around the world already include terms for Country/State/Province/territory, etc. Its a tag label in a program field.

    Pretty sure this change was from November, but it's an issue now because of the Cheeto

    Online articles say people have screenshots from a few days ago as of Provincial and now it says State Park, so even if google did make a back end change before January then the timing is odd for it to be showing changes now.
