There is an add on module that might be interesting in some cases (when geocode information is needed). We could mention that module on the project page:
https://www.drupal.org/project/better_countries

Interesting

> adds "administer better countries" and "administer countries" permissions

"administer countries" Maybe better in this module?

> adds a simple interface to import translations for country names for enabled languages. A CSV file with translations into 14 languages of most (all?) countries provided by the Countries module is included

New uncommitted feature in countries uses the crc repo and sucks all of the translations in, as well as other optional countries (as per Drupal 8.x core does)

> adds an interface for replacing the Continents list

Nice :)

> Custom code support for countries.

Not sure what this means?
