Looked into this, this string is actually coming from the unicode cldr: http://cldr.unicode.org/ that provides locale-specific names of countries for country codes, so meh, I'd say good enough. I wouldn't object to someone hacking this in but it'd be more trouble than it's worth. I suspect that if it ever becomes ambiguous they'll clarify it in the CLDR and it'll trickle down to us.

@anoek btw, you may be interested in https://github.com/unicode-org/cldr-json/ , in fact you may only need the npm packages cldr-localenames-full or cldr-localenames-modern for your use.
