@kayleighhoude I reviewed the notes and saw that there are a number of country indicators that were included in the GSI dataset but are listed here as not having data included. These were the countries:

There are also values for Hong Kong and Taiwan.

However, I think these were not given enums in BHoM. I wonder if that should be reconsidered as well. In the GSI dataset they are listed as Hong Kong, China and Taiwan, China. This recognizes their distinct histories and their current UN status as territories of China. It might be good to have that distinction especially in light of the recent history where China took over Hong Kong despite the agreement that they were supposed to wait about 30 years to regain the territory. It is likely that worker freedoms and rights may be further violated in light of these recent events. Taiwan also performs better than China or Hong Kong in a lot of these indicators. This may change as well since China has violated agreements against Hong Kong, they may also seek to regain Taiwan as well. It might be good to have them as separate entries as these events will impact the vulnerability of people in these countries.

I am closing this pull request, because of the country enum update
