We noticed that “Republic of Panamá” got interpreted to “Panama”. We’ve had the policy of outputting country’s official names (like “United States of America”, “Oriental Republic of Uruguay”, or “Republic of Panamá”). Does GBIF have a list of preferred country names that we should be using?
Hi @vijaybarve
You can find the list of country name and ISO codes used by GBIF here: https://api.gbif.org/v1/enumeration/country

Thank you @mgrosjean . This is very useful.
Does this follow any specific standard the we should be aware of?
@MattBlissett can confirm, but we should be using the same country names as the UN: UNTERM as well as the country ISO codes: ISO - ISO 3166 — Country Codes
