btw the countrycode pkg handles this pretty nicely as a country or higher level of granularity (had cause to use recently)
country codes are easy. It's the billion name variations that's hard.

it does variations on country names and seems to work well w/ various data sources I threw at it

it exists. Download the entire first level division iso dataset (8k). No variations, but can get around that with fuzzy matching.
