Observations showing up in wrong country despite map placement appearing correct

based on a previous thread, it looks like maybe this is a known issue, and apparently this should be noted in a flag on the place:

iNat’s boundary for Belarus (in orange, adapted from GADM) looks shifted to the southwest vs the OSM boundaries. i’m guessing the boundaries may not have been projected quite right here when they were adapted from GADM, but i’m not sure. based on the Thailand example above, you might have to note the problem in a flag on the place, but probably it will not be corrected any time soon.
