Summary: Question about Ireland 
Part: ISO 3166


Initial Comment:


Why is there 

#. name for IRL
msgid "Ireland"

but not

#. official name for IRL
msgid "Republic of Ireland"

Obviously there is room for confusion between the geographical island and the political governance of regions thereof, it makes sense for this distinction to be made clearer by the inclusion of an "official name" of the political entity.

Is this the wrong place for this bug, do you guys have channels to upstream it to the ISO 3166 project?
