Use COUNTRYAFF instead of COUNTRY #9

Thanks for creating this comprehensive CSV.

I'd have one suggestion for improvement: Having an extra entry for Canarias (additionaly to mainland Spain) seems wrong as there's no such thing for other countries with disconnected areas, and it's also not in line with this statement in the README:

Version 1.0 has been updated to use the centroid of the largest land mass. This way large countries with many disparate areas (like USA, New Zealand, Chile, Portugal) have more rational center points.

Hm, yeah in our data source we're using the "COUNTRY" attribute. It seems like if we use "COUNTRYAFF" attribute it may be more correct
