Context

A user with government datasets is having difficulties manually geocoding a dataset by country names as the dataset uses "Republic of the Congo" while the geocoder recognizes:

Republic of Congo,COG,Congo,CG

Would it be possible to add an additional alias to the geocoder to also recognize "Republic of the Congo" as a valid country name option for Congo?

I'm editing the message because it could cause confusion. Democratic Republic of the Congo is not the same administrative region as Republic of (the) Congo.
