Description
When going through the countries that were present in tilezen (LINK) and matching them to OpenStreetMap place=country nodes, I noticed that some places that tilezen treated as countries are not in osm as countries and therefore don't show up on the basemap as countries.
This concerns the following tilezen entries:
Antarctica
American Samoa
Åland
St-Barthélemy
Bouvet Island
W. Sahara
French Guiana
Guadeloupe
Guam
Hong Kong
Heard I. and McDonald Is
St-Martin
Macao
N. Mariana Is
Martinique
New Caledonia
Norfolk Island
Fr. Polynesia
St. Pierre and Miquelon
Puerto Rico
Palestine
Réunion
Svalbard and Jan Mayen
Fr. S. Antarctic Lands
U.S. Minor Outlying Is
U.S. Virgin Is
Wallis and Futuna Is
Mayotte
