Sofia has noted:
> ... just a tester's observation: During installation, when choosing time zone , there is the option Macedonia, which is officially named North Macedonia for the last few years [since 2018-06]. Shouldn't we update this?

Yes we should.

> I found https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macedonia_naming_dispute but the question is: OK the name, but what else?

YaST has a mapping for timezone names (timezone_raw.ycp) and it includes
   "Europe/Skopje" => _("Macedonia")

Then we have an entry for the name of the language, _("Macedonian") and there is a corresponding language name dispute, with its own Wikipedia page :-D https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macedonian_language_naming_dispute and there the resolution is: Keep using the name Macedonian.
