I have been made aware of an issue which may seem minor, but to those involved it's major. In the list of countries on the user registration form, Taiwan is listed as "Taiwan, A republic of China". While this is the ISO name for country code TW, it's a matter of grave offence and import to the Taiwanese.

I'd like to change this but, to my surprise, there isn't a single country lookup table. So, my questions are:

  1. How can I change the country name locally?
  2. Which tables / fields / values need to be changed to make the change consistent across the site?
  3. Where is the registration form generated? I'd have looked in the code to answer 1 and 2 had I known the answer to 3 :)
  4. How / where do I post this issue to make the appropriate developers aware of the situation?
  5. What's the best place to start learning how Drupal fits together and to begin to learn sufficient to make a contribution to the development of Drupal.

For reference, the site us currently D6 but I'm migrating it to D7 so I need answers for both contexts.

Thanks in advance,

Dave

There is no country list whatsoever in the default user registration form - just username and e-mail address.

You might want to start by Ctrl-F-ing the list of enabled modules for profil (might find Profile, Profile2 or Content Profile) and countr (there are several modules that provide country lists and related functionality).
