This may mean we have the Catalan separatists asking for a listing for "Catalonia" because they don't want to say "Spain"
That's a highly uncontroversial example, given that the area is uncontentiously recognized as Catalonia. Your proposal only sounds reasonable on its surface because you're ignoring the more problematic designations I mentioned, like Kurdistan and ISIL.
This is a politically charged area with subtleties that would take entire careers in political science to correctly understand, and it could have real consequences that are difficult to foresee (would adding Tibet to the list get the reps site blocked in China?). Mozilla doesn't have the expertise to make reasonable decisions regarding what to include and what to exclude in a list, and attempting to muddle our way through it will be an incredible distraction.
