As an Irish person, geographically, it does. Politically it does not. Given this is a geographical map, rather than political, it’s appropriate.

I wouldn’t want to see the typical map if great Britain and Northern Ireland with ROI missing. I zoomed in to see my town, which luckily is above water.

Geographically, it’s latitude and longitude. Naming is political, not geography.

Geography also describes features, like islands. These islands are named the British isles.

Youre talking about coordinates for location, not geography.

Naming can be political, but is not inherently so.

Naming is ownership, unless it is describing geography like islands.
