I gave Türkiye a fair chance a while back but it didn’t catch on widely and in a market where it’s still somewhat helpful to show up in a Google search every now and then I feel compelled to follow rather than lead when it comes to terminology. As to your other question I would say ease of use is the key variable. “Czechia” is easier to write and say than “the Czech Republic” while “Türkiye” is harder to write and say (for English speakers and writers) than “Turkey.” So I think Türkiye is less likely to catch on.
Yes, your paid sub should start at the end of your comp period. If there are any problems you can email Substack support or me (fxsubstack at gmail) and we’ll figure it out.
I’m curious, how will you decide whether to use Turkey or Türkiye? Do you think it is more or less likely to catch on than Czechia was?

Thanks, I appreciate the reply!
