Why is Taiwan listed in the country list as a province of China, and not its own country?
In a nutshell, the PKP uses an ISO standard for the OJS and OCS country lists, which is itself derived from UN resources; we don’t have plans to use another resource or maintain our own list. More details on the Taiwan question can be found in the ISO FAQ: http://www.iso.org/iso/country_codes/is … ecific.htm. If you want modify the list that is shipped with OJS or OCS, you can add/edit Taiwan to be its own country by editing registry/locale/[name of locale]/countries.xml — simply add or edit where you believe to be appropriate. Please note that you should keep track of any changes like this you make to the codebase, as you will have to maintain them in the event of an upgrade.
