Alternate licence wording for projects based in politically sensitive areas

Section 10 in Dandelicence v1.1 (Section 9 in v1.2) normally mentions non-United-Nations countries by the countries' own preferred names. If your project is based in a country where you believe you'll be at risk of persecution if you use those original names, here's Dandelion Sprout's recommended alternate names:

Original text Permitted alternate text
Republic of China Taiwan Area
The Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic's Free Zone Morocco Southeast Autonomous Provinces

It is permitted to use the alternate text even for non-transformative redistributions, as long as -G (short for "Geography") is added to the end of the version name, e.g. v1.1-G or v1.2-WIP-G.
