Thank you. 

Re: this part of the in-code comment: 

>   XXX this table is incomplete

I guess that the original intention was – essentially – for whoever sees the
file to: 

* consider also looking _elsewhere_ 

– not necessarily at a plain text file, although plain text can be nice. 


The definitive point of reference might be: 

ISO - ISO 3166 — Country Codes
<https://www.iso.org/iso-3166-country-codes.html>

 * Online Browsing Platform <https://www.iso.org/obp/ui/#search/code/>

To complement the alternative that you found, a few more resources. Some are
historical. 


Discovered indirectly via
<https://github.com/iiab/internet-in-a-box/issues/28#issuecomment-16304781>: 

* <https://www.geonames.org/countries/>

– I like its clarity; and via <https://www.geonames.org/about.html>, the 
  recent modifications <https://www.geonames.org/recent-changes.html> 
  seem to be reasonable (I sped through a handful of the linked pages)

– legible in e.g. lynx.

Via
<https://web.archive.org/web/20131008001533/http://www.iso.org/iso/country_codes/country_codes>:
<https://web.archive.org/web/20131110195618/http://www.iso.org/iso/home/standards/country_codes/country_names_and_code_elements_txt.htm>
then
<https://web.archive.org/web/20131205204150/http://www.iso.org/iso/home/standards/country_codes/country_names_and_code_elements_txt.htm>,
which is also legible in lynx. 


<https://github.com/topics/iso3166-2?o=desc&s=updated> interesting, although I
couldn't find anything like a plain text listing in any of the repositories.
