Summary

As calculated in #2335 these are the countries on the NIH list yet missing from the ENA list, adding them here for consistency.

For reference here is:

• The ENA checklist: https://www.ebi.ac.uk/ena/browser/api/xml/ERC000011
• The NIH checklist https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genbank/collab/country/.

I added these countries to the end of the list. Currently we do not use the ENA checklist for verification - if this changes these countries will need to be properly mapped.

PR Checklist

• Check if there are further countries in https://www.insdc.org/submitting-standards/geo_loc_name-qualifier-vocabulary/ that we should add
• All necessary documentation has been adapted.
• The implemented feature is covered by an appropriate test.

We should probably also add the historical names in case someone submits older data:

Belgian Congo
British Guiana
Burma
Czechoslovakia
Czech Republic
East Timor
Korea
Macedonia
Micronesia
Netherlands Antilles
Serbia and Montenegro
Siam
Swaziland
The former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia
USSR
Yugoslavia
Zaire

How is Czech Republic a historic name? 👀

They now call it Czechia. I see. It would be great if there was a cutoff date for each historical name. One shouldn't use Soviet Union past 1990 etc. We could come up with our own cut offs. Czechia/Czech Republic is weird though.

What about Turkey/Türkiye? It still says Turkey but I bet Turkey would prefer Türkiye.

Did a more thorough investigation and the only fields only in ENA and not in NIH are:

'East Timor',
 'Macedonia',
 'Micronesia',
 'Swaziland'

which are in NIH's historical list. Here we add the NIH list and NIH's list of historical countries.
