Full country labels

[schalise-bc]

Hi maplibre community,

Not sure if I should raise this as an issue or for discussion. I am using demotile for my website which is sufficing my need but need country label to be common i.e. in full form. I saw that some countries have short form being used and some don't have names that are official. E.g.
Dominican Republic -> Dominican Rep.
Sint Marteen -> St. Martin
Cook Islands -> Cook Is.

Is there any other symbol or name sources I could use where I could get the official names with demo styles ?
Thank you

Maybe https://fieldmaps.io/

@wipfli Sorry for my naive question. Is there any documentation or example on how to ?

No problem. For fieldmaps I don't know. But you could also have a look at natural earth which is probably the dataset that was used here...

I forgot to mention: You can of course also just go to https://overpass-turbo.eu/ and run this query to get all country labels in a geojson:

[out:json];
(
  node["place"="country"]({{bbox}}); 
);
out;

In the properties associated with countries in the maplibregl demotiles (that are btw. derived from Natural Earth) you find the ADM0_A3 Code for each Country. This resembles the ISO 3166 code and you can use that to map with full country names from whatever datasource you like, eg.
