I get why you chose Tūrkiye, but I'm curious because it seems a bit of a slippery slope.

For example, Taiwan's official name is the Republic of China, Italy's is the Italian Republic, etc., so as much as the Republic of Türkiye is its official name, but seems a bit arbitrary to choose Türkiye when it's most commonly (and traditionally) known to English speakers as Turkey.

Strangely enough, even the UN seems conflicted on this topic. The membership protocol states it as Republic of Turkey, whereas its termbase lists it as Tūrkiye. Compare: https://www.un.int/protocol/sites/www.un.int/files/Protocol%20and%20Liaison%20Service/officialnamesofcountries.pdf vs https://unterm.un.org/unterm2/en/country

Elsewhere, you've listed also Hong Kong, but that's a special administrative region of the PRC, i.e. China nevertheless. You might compare it to listing others under UK, rather than England, Scotland, Wales, or Northern Ireland, for example.

On the nationality of films, I guessed it was based on the production company/ies, but I noticed that Wikipedia also lists France as one of the countries for The Passenger, so again I was curious to know. Some coproductions can have up to 6 or 7 participating countries, so I was curious to know if you had particular cutoff points or rules for it.

Not meaning to wind you up, mind, I'm just a bit of a stickler for these kinds of details. Also, I think if your books ever came to print, a publisher/editor might expect or want you to clarify such issues for the sake of consistency, although the larger ones will likely have their own style guides to follow.

My "books" aren't ever coming to print

But thanks for the concern!

You like to take your reading slowly, I see.

yup I also tend to read the same paragraph over and over again or at least it seems to be the same one over and over again.
