Sure, I think we might want to make a separate script or output for that, so that we provide one user-facing, human-readable (definitely csv) data set, and one internal, machine-readable (probably json) data set.

Probably something like [{"iso_code": "USA", "region": "TX"}, ...] ... @maciej-zarzeczny @OskarKocjan LMK what you need

We can use Python package country_converter. This is very useful for me in COVID-19 project. https://github.com/konstantinstadler/country_converter

With the WHO dataset, country names have been replaced with ISO codes in the monkeypox-aggregates bucket
