# Notes
## F.A.Q
### Q: Why not just transform the country codes to ISO? Not a bug, a feature request
A: The factbook has many more entities / countries than ISO and sometimes with a different definition - it's NOT an easy 1:1 mapping, see <https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/appendix/appendix-d.html>.
### Q: I noticed that you've got Zambian data under ZA for the African region... It should be South African data...
A: See why not ISO codes - Uhhh... nevermind, I see it's stored under SF. Weird, but, ok :)
