Well perhaps chess.com has it wrong. Chess.com staff will likely view this thread and make a response in the next 10 hrs.
Try to stay calm. Relax. Breathe Deep. Have some cafe con leche. Do not start hyperventlilating.

There are one or two known anomalies in the 'country' list. e.g.
From Wikipedia...
Catalonia, along with the Basque Country and Galicia, was set apart from the rest of Spain as a historical nationality and given the automatic right to autonomy, which resulted in the Statute of Autonomy of Catalonia of 1979. The rest of Spain, in a process spearheaded by Andalusia, followed by Asturias and Castile and León, and completed by 1985, carved itself into 14 additional autonomous regions that drafted their own Statutes of Autonomy. Since 2003, there has been a round of amendments to the various Statutes of Autonomy (notably, alongside Catalonia's, those of Aragon, the Valencian Community, the Balearic Islands and the Canary Islands).
Both the 1979 Statute of Autonomy and the current one, approved in 2006, state that "Catalonia, as a nationality, exercises its self-government constituted as an Autonomous Community in accordance with the Constitution and with the Statute of Autonomy of Catalonia, which is its basic institutional law,always under the law in Spain"[9]
The Preamble of the 2006 Statute of Autonomy of Catalonia states that the Parliament of Catalonia has defined Catalonia as a nation, but that "the Spanish Constitution recognizes Catalonia's national reality as a nationality".[10] While the Statute was approved by and sanctioned by both the Catalan and Spanish parliaments, and later by referendum in Catalonia, it has been subject to a legal challenge by the surrounding autonomous regions of Aragon, Balearic Islands and the Valencian Community,[11] as well as by the conservative People's Party. The objections are based on various issues such as disputed cultural heritage but, especially, on the Statute's alleged breaches of the principle of "solidarity between regions" in fiscal and educational matters enshrined by the Constitution. After considerable legal debate,[12] Spain's Constitutional Court assessed the disputed articles and on 28 June 2010, issued its judgment on the principal allegation of unconstitutionality presented by the People's Party in 2006. The judgment granted clear passage to 182 articles of the 223 that make up the fundamental text. The court approved 73 of the 114 articles that the People's Party had contested, while declaring 14 articles unconstitutional in whole or in part and imposing a restrictive interpretation on 27 others.[13] The court accepted the specific provision that described Catalonia as a "nation", however ruled that it was a historical and cultural term with no legal weight, and that Spain remained the only nation recognised by the constitution.[14][15][16][17]

Exactly.... and since this is not the united nations, but is a chess site for crying out loud.... the historical and cultural applications would be more pertinent. Just because chess.com puts a nation in it's database, does not mean that chess.com is claiming that the nation has sovereignty.
Catalonia is not a sovereign country (and also Galicia) and must be removed from the country list...If you respect spanish political Sovereignty...

Who claimed it is a sovereign country? The country list is a list in a database of a CHESS SITE, NOT the united nations. It is a list based on cultural, historical, and requested names of nations that members of chess.com have requested. You are the one demanding from a united states privately owned website that it remove from it's database the name of a nation. Who gave you.... a citizen of Spain, sovereignty over a united states business to demand that it remove a name from it's database?
Its a lot of cultural and historical applications out there...isnt it ?
