In the end the Webmaster of the project that uses static_info_tables has 
to decide what he wants to display on his website. Maybe he needs the 
ISO standards, maybe the distiction of Scottland, England, Wales and 
Northern Ireland is important for him, maybe he considers Tibet or 
Abkhazia (belonging to Georgia according to ISO) as souvereign countries.

1. static_info_tables should not cover every territory that someone 
considers as a country.

2. There should be ONE(!) extension, extending static_info_tables 
containing territories who are
  (a) in common sense often refered as countries (like England)
  (b) consider themselves as souvereign countries and have a 
de-facto-regime (like Abkhazia, but not like Kurdistan which has no 
de-facto-regime)

Of course creating such a list is hard and maybe impossible, but I 
consider it as the way to help most people creating good websites.
