United Kingdom not recognised as a country.

[berengamble]

United Kingdom isn't matched as a country.

>>> import geograpy
>>> geograpy.get_geoPlace_context(text='United Kingdom').countries
[]
>>> geograpy.get_geoPlace_context(text='UK').countries
[]
>>> geograpy.get_geoPlace_context(text='Great Britain').countries
[]
>>> geograpy.get_geoPlace_context(text='GB').countries
[]
>>> geograpy.get_geoPlace_context(text='United States').countries
['United States']

Expected behavior Should match some or all variations of United Kingdom.

Version geograpy3 0.1.27

The NLP part is failing. You might want to use the PlaceContext directly or the new locator interface. Please stay tuned for the upcoming release
