According to ISO-3166 yes it is. (I didn’t know this either!)

Western version is to join them together

Government says one word:

It’s nice and easy to pull a github repo which contains all the ISO country codes and names and just use that which is probably what’s happened here. Dare say if it was a big issue they could fork it and change the name as long as the ISO codes are maintained.
