            Bug ID: 57547
           Summary: Use ISO country codes instead of a numeric id to
                    reference countries
           Product: Wikimedia
           Version: wmf-deployment
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: Wikimania Scholarship

The countries table uses a numeric autoincrement field as a primary key. This
PK is used as a foreign key in the scholarships table. The existing system is
fragile and requires synchronization of the keys in the countries table with
element order in a PHP array. The application would be easier to maintain if we
switched to using standard ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country codes.
