Serializable, Comparable<Country>
```
public enum Country
extends Enum<Country>
```
An enumeration for all current ISO 3166-1 Alpha-2 and Alpha-3 country codes.
Formerly used codes are not included.
All unused user assigned codes (e.g. XX and QS) are mapped to the single enum USER_DEFINED.
Titles are taken from the ISO standard short name in all cases.
GBIF Regions are based on IPBES regions, also available as a CSV list.
The source for GBIF Regions is the participant entities in the GBIF Directory, which are synchronized with Nodes in the Registry. They are also recorded here, to provide regions for countries/territories that are not GBIF members.
The regions follow IPBES regions, except for Antarctic territories, as there was no IPBES report for these.
