Slightly related to this: #17

It would be great to see some sort of common name for the countries as well, e.g., "South Korea" for "Korea, Republic of".

    I'm open to this sort of thing, however I don't think these names should be chosen ad hoc. Do you know of a recognized standard that defines common names?

    I noticed 'UK' and 'United Kingdom' give KeyError because the ISO country code is 'GB'a and the name itself is 'United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland' but I am using this library to cross-reference locations mentioned in United Nations documents and the UK is listed there along with the US. It might be helpful to add 'UK' or 'United Kingdom' or both.
