Describe the Feature

As a user, I would like to have more flexibility over the names which get parsed to ISO-3166 country codes.

Different cases:

  • For now, for example, only the full name of the UK gets mapped. Whereas if the country name was United Kingdom I would like for it to be mapped to UK as well. This also happens with Bolivia. Only the full name of Bolivia (Bolivia (Plurinational State of) gets mapped to BO, whereas I believe users also intend for Bolivia to be mapped to BO.
  • There are some names with accented latin characters in them as well. I believe the non-accented versions should also be accepted (e.g. Åland Islands -> AX, but if i typed Aland Islands i would also like for it to be AX).
