Convert country names to standard codes

encode_country(x, code = c("iso2c", "iso3c", "iso.name", "un.name",
  "country.name", "fips.name", "genc.name", "continent"), ...)

encode_continent(x, ...)

`x`	vector of country identifiers to convert
`code`	scheme for encoding countries in the output; default is ISO 2-letter code, but see `?countrycode::codelist` for other choices
`...`	ignored

All the heavy lifting is done by the countrycode package. This function will attempt to find matches for the input identifiers against a heirarchy of country encodings, starting with ISO 2-letter codes – so it should be idempotent with respect to already-encoded input.

character vector of country identifiers in the requested encoding; missing or unmatched values will be NA. In the case of encode_continent(), a character vector of continents as assigned by the World Bank.

codelist, countrycode
