Hi, There are map services (TomTom I believe) which have a parameter, something like "politics" with possible values China, India and Pakistan, and of course google does same for end-users. As far as I can think of more or less every single country has some details what they feel to be mapped differently from some others, probably all the neighbours of the same country connected with Crimea have this challenge. Nothing new here, that's reality and implementing "international map politics" that would be an obvious minimal feature of any international map app. So far only the biggest ones do it, but none of OSM-based AFAIK. OSM itself is a database, not app, so we can only enable it with tagging, and maybe in the 'preview' web tiles.
