    Meanwhile on Openstreetmap:

    name Golfo de México

    name:en Gulf of Mexico

    official_name:en_US Gulf of America

    Showing just enough acknowledgement to confirm they’ve discussed the executive order, but they aren’t going to follow it.

      Surely that is following it? Change the name in American. Leave it the same in English.
