List of countries contains errors

List of countries contains errors

jangondol opened this issue 8 years ago · comments

konfera/models/countries.py contains "Yugoslavia" (a country that no longer exists) and "Cook Iislands" (apparent typo). Where does this list come from? It appears to be incorrect and should be updated.

Please note that I didn't check all countries, just noticed these two. It's possible that there are many more issues I did not notice. We should use an authoritative source for the list (and, ideally, quote the source straight in the code).

I suggest we should follow ISO-3166 standard, namely ISO 3166-1 alpha-2.

@jangondol what about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-2#Officially_assigned_code_elements ?

@ZoltanOnody That sounds good! This seems to be the official source: http://www.iso.org/iso/home/standards/country_codes.htm

I'll take care of this (if nobody objects).
