Norway and Kosovo do not have ISO3 codes assigned #72

I recognized that in the countries dataset, Norway and Kosovo do not have ISO3 codes assigned despite being recognized in the ISO standard. I pull the data using the ne_countries() function.

You might want to try the ne_download() function to see if the ISO codes are updated to what you expect:

countries <- ne_download(scale = "medium", type = "countries", category = "cultural", returnclass = "sf")
countries[countries$ADMIN=="Norway",]
countries[countries$ADMIN=="Kosovo",]

If those ISO codes are not what you expected I would suggest raising the issue in with the data producer, Natural Earth, since this package only facilities accessing and downloading the data.

This should be working with the updated version of rnaturalearthhighres. Thanks to @mps9506 

countries <- ne_countries(scale = "large", type = "countries", country = "Norway", returnclass = "sf")
