Country names not in line with openentrance definitions

[HauHe]

When trying to upload results to the IIASA ScenarioExplorer I noticed that the recent fixes on country names are not in line with the definitions in the openentrance package.

We report	OpenEntrance requires
Netherlands	The Netherlands
Czechia	Czech Republic
United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland	United Kingdom

You are right, "Czechia" is a relatively new change, the other two items are very common problems.

And yes, in openENTRANCE, we use an older list of country names, which we are currently trying to standardize across projects at https://nomenclature-iamc.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api/countries.html.

My suggestion is that you implement all reporting using the nomenclature country names (Netherlands, Czechia, United Kingdom) and I add a "manual" translation in the openENTRANCE workflow to ensure compatibility in that project. Sounds ok?

Hi Daniel,
yes, we will create a fix so that we report with the country names used in openEntrance, i.e. the Netherlands, Czech Republic etc.
