Actually we have a table #__jem_countries but also a class JemHelperCountries (in (site)/herlpers/countries.php) - both with e.g. the country name. Models like eventslist and search get information from the table but others seem to get if from class.
This incubator of inconsistency should be replaced by a single source.
I would suggest to keep the table as master and let the helper class provide additional functionality using the table.
