Curious how long it will take the iso-codes project https://salsa.debian.org/iso-codes-team/iso-codes https://salsa.debian.org/iso-codes-team/iso-codes to get updated. This package is used by country libraries in many programming languages and systems because it provides XML and JSON versions of relevant standards like ISO 3166-1 (countries and territories), ISO 3166-2 (subdivisions), etc.
For systems that rely on country data it is better to use ISO 3166-1 Alpha2 or Alpha3 codes because those don't change as often and don't have pesky issues with articles, diacritics, and cumbersome official names.
