Country
A country or territory with an ISO 3166-1 code, identified independently of any data source. Values are keyed by the lowercase ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code. A dataset that stores a country by name matches it against a value's labels and aliases; one that stores a code matches it against the value's codes.
