Sorry for disturbing you, it is not very important for 2044, but maybe you will have a look at country.sys.
I just made a quick look and several "new" countries are not listed there:
a) brazilian / brasilianisch (pb) Sim/Não / Sair S N Ss 858 pb ? BR (strictly no language code!) - not sure if there will be changes
b) esperanto / esperanto (eo) Jes/Ne / Fini J N Ff 858 eo ok NONE! (NO country exists!) - not sure if there will be changes
c) estonian / estnisch (et) Jah/Ei / Välju J E Vv 775 et ? EE (ET=NEW, EE old + country differs) (NOT IN COUNTRY.SYS)
d) icelandic / isländisch (is) Já/Nei / Hætta J N Hh 861 is ok IS (NOT IN COUNTRY.SYS, a state of its own)
e) latvian / lettisch (lv) Jā/Nē / Iziet J N Ii 775 lv ok LV (NOT IN COUNTRY.SYS, former part of RU)
f) lithuanian / litauisch (lt) Taip/Ne / Išeiti T N Ii 775 lt ok LT (NOT IN COUNTRY.SYS, former part of RU)
e) latvian / lettisch (lv) Jā/Nē / Iziet J N Ii 775 lv ok LV (NOT IN COUNTRY.SYS, former part of RU)
f) lithuanian / litauisch (lt) Taip/Ne / Išeiti T N Ii 775 lt ok LT (NOT IN COUNTRY.SYS, former part of RU)
g) slovak / slowakisch (sk) Áno/Nie / Ukončiť Á N Uu 852 sk ok SK (NOT IN COUNTRY.SYS, former part of Czechia)
h) slovenian / slowenisch (sl) Da/Ne / Izhod D N Ii 852 sl ok SL (SI - country differs)
i) swedish / schwedisch (sv) Ja/Nej / Avsluta J N Aa 858 sv ok SE (SE country differs)
j) ukrainian / ukrainisch (uk) Так (Tak)/Ні (Ni) / Вихід Т Н Вв 855 uk ok UA (UA country differs)
h) slovenian / slowenisch (sl) Da/Ne / Izhod D N Ii 852 sl ok SL (SI - country differs)
i) swedish / schwedisch (sv) Ja/Nej / Avsluta J N Aa 858 sv ok SE (SE country differs)
j) ukrainian / ukrainisch (uk) Так (Tak)/Ні (Ni) / Вихід Т Н Вв 855 uk ok UA (UA country differs)
"country differs" Maybe this has to do with differing between "Language abbreviation" and "Country abbreviation)
It would be great if you could check this before publishing 2045 country.sys.
Thank you very much!

Subject: Re: [Freedos-devel] release kernel 2044
For those reviewing these changes and looking through issues still
open, my plan is to release a 2045 soon (within next month or three),
but then again this release was meant to come out 2 years ago. So no
promises.
My next changes are to complete and update share (there is a branch
that brings all the latest features to Borland build and still works
with Open Watcom, but needs some work for GCC-ia16, though the
features are ported from current gcc version -- uninstall and related
options, also smaller resident footprint) and update so sys is also a
git submodule. GPT support may or may not be in the next release
depending on how much time I have, but will likely only be for Open
Watcom and GCC compiled kernels.
A future change, possibly sooner than later is to change the build
system to use gmake on all platforms and compilers for a single
consistent build infrastructure. I am still open to other versions of
make, but gmake so far seems the best fit to support Linux, Windows
32/64, and DOS building. The current build system with each compiler
using its own make is very fragile and I waste more time than I care
and causes more issues for others to build - the goal is reduce
friction for anyone to build their own custom kernel (and that
includes me when I haven't built it in a while or I update my
development computer).
