Occupied and disputed territories on the topojson map #251

First of all, thanks for creating this project!

I've noticed topojson maps display some disputed territories by on the ground rule, which will eventually violate some local laws and might trigger some people. For example:

I'm from Ukraine. Russia illegally annexed the Crimea peninsula in 2014. This act was not recognized by almost every country, but your map shows Crimea as a part of Russia:

This looks offensive and displays support to the Russian war machine. Additionally, this map shows unrecognized Northem Cyprus.

Yes, I know you're using vector maps by natural-earth-vector. I just want to let you know, that this map might be offensive. You should use admin_0 maps to avoid this.

Hi folks, Could you have a look on this please? It's still relevant, very much.

Thanks a lot!

Please correct the map. Crimea is Ukraine.

If anyone is using react-simple-maps and is struggling with this issue, the solution I found is to manually modify the data. This is based on comments on this thread (https://github.com/nvkelso/natural-earth-vector/issues/489), after which I wrote the following JS code (https://github.com/nvkelso/natural-earth-vector/issues/489#issuecomment-1081783804) to remove Crimea polygons from Russia and add them to Ukraine.

@rredfearn32 Do you know how to do it for 110 maps(like this one https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/world-atlas@2/countries-110m.json)? I am a noob in this.
