Hi Peter,

Great idea :) However, I have the impression that a couple of countries 
is missing. For example, Guernsey is included, but Jersey is not. 
Shouldn't we stick to a list like this: 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sovereign_states
Most of it is already there. Or would this be a too sensitive subject?
