# Countries' names

`countries.json` holds the names of countries and territories (ISO 3166-1 alpha-2
codes, `DE`) in English and German, from the Unicode Common Locale Data Repository
(CLDR, <https://cldr.unicode.org/>), release 48.2 (tag `release-48-2`,
`common/main/en.xml` and `de.xml`, their `territories`), converted by the package's
`tool/country_names.py`: English whole, German where it differs, variants left out
but CLDR's short names of Hong Kong, Macao, Myanmar and Palestine, as Learn's world
map has them.

CLDR is under the Unicode License v3, whose notice, verbatim from that release, is in
`../subdivisions/LICENSE-CLDR.txt` and in the app's licence list
(`registerHalkyonAppLicenses`).
