Many Turkish state names are wrong.
I dont know where did you collect Turkish state names but some of them are wrong. I had to select Constantinople when I register. It is called Istanbul since 1770 , and many Turkish people (including me) find insulting that calling it as Constantinople.
Errata is here: Adrianople => Edirne Afion-Kara-Hissar => Afyonkarahisar Aidin => Aydin Amasia => Amasya Angora => Ankara Ayintap => Antep Brusa => Bursa Canik => Samsun Constantinople => Istanbul Diarbakir => Diyarbakir Edessa => Sanliurfa Erzerum => Erzurum Gumusane Vilayeti => Gumushane Hakari => Hakkari Hamitabat => <NULL> (NOT A STATE) Kaisaria => Kayseri Kars Ili => Kars Kirk-Kilissa => Kirklareli Konia => Konya Malatia => Malatya Thanks. |

The country list unfortunately can't be fixed at the moment, as the site admins don't have access to alter that feature. The list even excludes Russia, New Zealand and Thailand entirely, among others. And you'd think the webteam who constructed the site would've noticed that Constantinople is now Istanbul
 Sorry about that. No insult intended.

And you may also add 80% of my country's ones.
Dutch ones are translated badly into French and vice versa. And I even don't want to mention the German speaking part of België BTW, it isn't Belgium but België, Belgique or Belgien .....
