In a few cases the present entries are left unchanged by the patch
3
despite the fact that the official 'Country names (short names)'
4
from ISO 3166-1 are different, because the official short names
5
are unnecessarily long:
6
FM Micronesia (official short name: Micronesia, Federated States of)
7
IR Iran (official short name: Iran, Islamic Republic of)
8
LA Laos (official short name: Lao People's Democratic Republic)
9
LY Libya (official short name: Libyan Arab Jamahiriya)
10
MK Macedonia (official short name: Macedonia, The Former Yugoslav Republic of)
11
PS Palestine (official short name: Palestinian Territory, Occupied)
12
SY Syria (official short name: Syrian Arab Republic)
13
TW Taiwan (official short name: Taiwan, Province of China)
14
TZ Tanzania (official short name: Tanzania, United Republic of)
16
The /usr/share/zoneinfo/iso3166.tab file says that names differing
17
from the official ISO 3166-1 names were used in some cases to get a better
18
alphabetic sorting. However, the changes below will not lead to
19
any problems with respect to a meaningful alphabetic sorting by
20
country name (as far as I can see).
