Feature request: Fill in some of the missing countries

[stucka]

A huge number of nations have no representation, albeit, under the ISO standards some of these countries aren't really countries. Examples of those include Puerto Rico and two sets of Virgin Islands.

A small portion of these nations have no true media outlets at all. For example, North Korea has only a state-run propaganda service known as Uriminzokkiri, at https://twitter.com/uriminzok . I don't know what's left in Afghanistan, if anything.

Some of these places are smaller in population, sure. But ... Algeria has about 45 million people. Bangladesh has about 166 million people. China has about 1,412 million people. The existing inventory skews heavily toward English-speaking countries.

It might be possible to poach a membership list from somewhere else (e.g., ICIJ) and see what gaps can be filled in that way.

As of 2022, the missing included: Afghanistan Albania Algeria American Samoa Andorra Angola Anguilla Antarctica Antigua and Barbuda Armenia Aruba Azerbaijan Bahamas Bahrain Bangladesh Barbados Belarus Belize Benin Bermuda Bhutan Bolivia Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba Botswana Bouvet Island British Indian Ocean Territory Brunei Darussalam Bulgaria Burkina Faso Burundi Cabo Verde Cambodia Cameroon Cayman Islands Central African Republic Chad Chile China Christmas Island Cocos Islands Comoros Democratic Republic of the Congo Republic of Congo Cook Islands Costa Rica Croatia Cuba Curaçao Cyprus Czechia Côte d'Ivoire Denmark Djibouti Dominica Dominican Republic Ecuador Egypt Equatorial Guinea Eritrea Estonia Eswatini Ethiopia Falkland Islands Faroe Islands Fiji Finland French Guiana French Polynesia French Southern Territories Gabon Gambia Ghana Gibraltar Greece Greenland Grenada Guadeloupe Guam Guatemala Guernsey Guinea Guinea-Bissau Guyana Haiti Heard Island and McDonald Islands Holy See Honduras Hong Kong Hungary Iceland Indonesia Iran Iraq Isle of Man Jamaica Jersey Jordan Kazakhstan Kenya Kiribati North Korea South Korea Kuwait Kyrgyzstan Lao People's Democratic Republic Lesotho Liberia Libya Liechtenstein Lithuania Luxembourg Macao Madagascar Malawi Malaysia Maldives Mali Malta Marshall Islands Martinique Mauritania Mauritius Mayotte Federated States of Micronesia Moldova Monaco Mongolia Montenegro Montserrat Morocco Mozambique Myanmar Namibia Nauru Netherlands New Caledonia Nicaragua Niger Nigeria Niue Norfolk Island North Macedonia Northern Mariana Islands Oman Pakistan Palau Palestine Panama Papua New Guinea Paraguay Peru Philippines Pitcairn Poland Portugal Puerto Rico Romania Rwanda Réunion Saint Barthélemy Saint Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha Saint Kitts and Nevis Saint Lucia Saint Martin Saint Pierre and Miquelon Saint Vincent and the Grenadines Samoa San Marino Sao Tome and Principe Saudi Arabia Senegal Serbia Seychelles Sierra Leone Singapore Sint Maarten Slovakia Slovenia Solomon Islands Somalia South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands South Sudan Sri Lanka Sudan Suriname Svalbard and Jan Mayen Sweden Switzerland Syrian Arab Republic Tajikistan Tanzania Thailand Timor-Leste Togo Tokelau Tonga Trinidad and Tobago Tunisia Turkmenistan Turks and Caicos Islands Tuvalu Türkiye Uganda United Arab Emirates United States Minor Outlying Islands Uzbekistan Vanuatu Venezuela Viet Nam British Virgin Islands U.S. Virgin Islands Wallis and Futuna Western Sahara Yemen Zambia Zimbabwe Åland Islands

At least one is every country is a great goal, IMHO.
