The federal information processing standard uses Burma........as do a lot of countries, and international organisations including the CIA world factbook.

Please, change the name to Myanmar.

Sometimes the countries would like to be officially called in a different way, but they are not followed.
The greatest case is acout an African country where, in April 1986, the government declared Côte d'Ivoire (or, more fully, République de Côte d'Ivoire) to be its formal name for the purposes of diplomatic protocol, and officially refuses to recognize or accept any translation from French to another language in its international dealings. Despite the Ivorian government's request, the English translation "Ivory Coast" (often "the Ivory Coast") is still frequently used in English, by various media outlets and publications.
I think that the double form of Burma and Myanmar will remain, without an agreement and/or a unique solution.
