@ -13,3 +13,16 @@ Should be "04 51 N, 31 37 E" to avoid problems down the line.

### Country Names - Curacao (cc), Sint Maarten (sk)
@mn113 writes:
A couple of countries in the dataset don't conform to a standard way to programmatically access their names. I think it's just Curacao (cc) and Sint Maarten (sk).
Every other country uses `["Government"]["Country name"]["conventional short form"]`.
I gather this is just a harvested dataset rather than a curated one, but how do you feel about this? If people want to use this data programatically,
it's inconvenient that something as major as the _name_ of a country can't be reliably retrieved. (Other more complex properties, I can understand).
PS: European Union (ee) is another file which uses a different convention.
