"Taiwan, Province Of China"?

Seriously?
If you wanted to be pedantic it's official name is "Taiwan, Republic of China", but why not just "Taiwan" like everybody calls it, and avoid the political implications of either name.

@taoski, you're going to have a problem in your CSV file with the countries that have a comma in them.

Consider "Moldova,Republic Of", and "Micronesia, Federated States Of".

You'll need to enclose any such countries's names in quotes to avoid having them mess things up.

@suranyami: Sorry if this list was somehow offensive, that was never my intention. The original data was sourced from Wikipedia. As mentioned, there is a better list out there: https://github.com/umpirsky/country-list
