crosslet example country names #18

Open pssguy opened 10 years ago

pssguy commented 10 years ago

The map has several omissions due, I believe, to a difference in naming of some countries in the web_index and the map. For instance, if the web_index$country "United Kingdom Of Great Britain And Northern Ireland" is changed to "United Kingdom" then its area is appropriately coloured Does the map use a standard naming, and can it easily be cross-referenced with the web_index data

ramnathv commented 10 years ago

Yes. I think even United States was not correctly named. I think the best course of action is to generate a topojson map of the world with standard iso shortcodes, which can then be easily matched with data sources. i am a bit stretched now, but will keep this issue open to remember to do it.

I was focusing on the important countries :)

When have you never been stretched? You really need cloning

Thanks in advance

Is it possible to access a list of the current names used?
