ISO-3166-1 out of date at source; consider switching source #64

A bunch of stuff here comes from statoids.com, but the data there appears to be quite out of date (e.g. Czechia still listed as Czech Republic).

I wonder if it would be better to scrape ISO directly? Morph.io is useful for scraping javascript-heavy sites: https://morph.io/documentation/scraping_javascript_sites

I made a super basic scraper that scrapes from source: https://morph.io/andylolz/country-codes
