In davidsjoberg/simplecountries: Convert Alternative Country Names to Common English

simplecountries

simplecountries is a simple R package that helps to convert alternative country names to common English. It only has the function simple_country_name. The main source is this wikipedia article.

remotes::install_github("davidsjoberg/simplecountries")

Example

This is a basic example:

library(simplecountries)

x <- c("Czech", "Great Britain")
simple_country_name(x)
#> [1] "Czechia"        "United Kingdom"

Use countrycode instead

Since simplecountries was made the mature package countrycode has introduced the function countryname which does the same thing but is probably better maintained. You probably want to you that package instead. More info here

If there is alternative names missing from this function let me know!
