Technically called "Côte d'Ivoire" I believe.
La francaise saves the day.
By that logic, most of those countries' official names don't start with I, so the map is still wrong whichever way you do it.
No, just don't apply the official names to all of the rest, only the outlier we want to ignore. It's the scientific method.
