I want to create a challenge for regions in Belarus. I have encountered the problem that Project-GC has only 6 regions defined for Belarus, but in fact the capital city of Minsk is considered the seventh region.

We will look into upgrading the polygon data for Belarus. Our data is an extract from OpenStreetMap in 2017, at that time it only had 6 regions, at least in OSM. I can see that it has 7 now, so it should be a fairly easy update for us.

OSM might actually have been correct back in 2017. Two of the regions are both named "Minsk" in English, so Project-GC has merged them. We will rename the bigger one in our new import.
The data is now updated, it might take up to 6 hours before it's visible everywhere.
THX  !!!! For me is it visible
It's not certain that it is for a challenge checker yet. Those are using another database cluster, with some delay of replication. A full sync is made every 4th hour.
Not a problem. Now I have a command from the reviewer to reduce the challenge difficulty.
