You persist in claiming that my solution results in us making claims about what is a country. It does not. In almost every case, people who deny a particular named area is a country will accept that it is a region. So if we put it in a field labelled "country or region" everyone is happy; some people can believe it's a country, some people can believe it's a region, and we don't have to specify which we are saying it is. > In any case, it seems that we both agree that having a list of > ISO-identified country codes combined with an option to simply not > select a value is an adequate solution, which would seem to make the > rest of the discussion academic. That would also work, if not selecting a value was acceptable to the site maintainers.
