- We are working on an easier way to add all countries to a Scenario Explorer database and also create a utility for mapping between country names and ISO2/ISO3 codes, see Add a module for translating between country names and alpha-2/3 codes IAMconsortium/nomenclature#263
- It would be easier to read this list if you format it as a table or similar.
Perfect! A table in markdown format? If it is, please consider the next table: | Country | Subregion |

Ethiopia | Eastern Africa | |
Egypt | Northern Africa | |
DR Congo | Middle Africa | |
Tanzania | Eastern Africa | |

Thanks, I think that this is much more useful. Also, please edit the table above (with a comment on the changes below) instead of copy-pasting the same table multiple times in this thread). And I deleted the list of countries from the comment above to avoid duplication.
Apologies for the late comment, but in my opinion, the classification of countries into subregions based on the UN Methodology M49 Standard does not make sense, especially in energy modelling. This standard - which classifies Sudan (my own country) to Northern Africa, Mozambique, Zambia and Zimbabwe to Eastern Africa, and calls Central Africa as Middle Africa - is bizarre to me, and I have never encountered it in energy modelling literature. I am afraid such an aggregation won't make sense to our African stakeholders. I suggest we use the African Union classification (the OAU, CM/Res.464QCXVI, of 1976). You can find it here https://au.int/en/member_states/countryprofiles2 Here, I am adding it in a table format:
