Taiwan, a name cannot be said

How to call the island with 24,000,000 people and remarkable economic and democracy development has become a series problem recently. Politicians, diplomats, and reporters have various troubles to express the name of this island in the international realm. It cannot be called "Taiwan" because its 'copyright' belongs to People's Repulic of China; It cannot call Repulic of China because the name has become forbidden after UN annouced its #1458 decision. It shouldn't be called "Chinese Taipei" because it presents only a city, not mention the Kaohsiung city always hates that the 'big brother' stands over its head. How about SCTTPKM?(Separate Customs Territory of Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen and Matsu) what the god dame it is!?
So, there is a place has no name, a place have many memory of names but they cannot be said.....Is name important? Does the people of that land need a name to be remembered? Does we have a name then we live?
Tell me, you wise guy!
