That is very true. The best solution, however, is not to make the field freeform, which has problems that others outline, but to stop labelling it simply as "country". Currently, in the rep profile public UI, it's labelled "location". If there is a "country" field in the editing screen, instead we should label it "country or territory", and accept any reasonable requests for addition which represent an area of land. This may mean we have the Catalan separatists asking for a listing for "Catalonia" because they don't want to say "Spain", but if the other option is requiring people in Kosovo to choose between "Serbia" and "Albania", I'd say this is a better system. Another option would be to make the country field non-mandatory (or is it already?) and suggest that residents of Kosovo leave it unset.
