Modernise the country list
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_3166_country_codes
Note this is really "ISO 3166 countries" which includes dependencies etc.
Note that existing countries seem to avoid diacritics (Cote d'Ivoire not Côte d'Ivoire etc so I stuck with that for the time being, Åland and Curaçao would be more correct. If you think adding diacritics would be an improvement that could be added as a new PR.)
