Mircronesia missing in iso2c

[herrmol]

It seems that the iso2c for Micronesia is missing though the iso2c code for Micronesia is "FM".

I think there is a distinction between:

• Micronesia is the region: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micronesia
• Federated States is a country: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federated_States_of_Micronesia

library(countrycode)

countrycode("Micronesia", "country.name", "iso2c")

## Warning in countrycode_convert(sourcevar = sourcevar, origin = origin, destination = dest, : Some values were not matched unambiguously: Micronesia

## [1] NA

countrycode("Federated States of Micronesia", "country.name", "iso2c")

## [1] "FM"

You can use the custom_match argument to fill in the missing values if you want to assign "Micronesia" to an iso2c code.
