Bug Description

There are political issue across the world. The description used in CountryCodes.js are official names from ISO/OFKN, which propose more kind of political intention.

As a Taiwanese, I propose to use Google or Unicode way (Taiwan) as description for "TW".

I also propose to just use "Palestine" as description for "PS" if no objection.

Hi, thanks for filing this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better! There is a redesign of this app under the series "reboot" that already has this working as intended. If you see any discrepancies in that branch please feel free to propose a merge. Unfortunately we are only supporting major bug fixes in the soon to be replaced app that currently ships on the phone and is in the trunk of this repository.
