      FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
      java version "1.6.0_20"
      Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_20-b02)
      Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 16.3-b01, mixed mode, sharing)

      A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
      I wrote a unit test for

      Locale l = new Locale("",[iso 3166 Country code here]);
      l.getDisplayName(Locale.GERMANY)

      which fails in many cases if compared to the list of German wikipedia via a resource file.
      It seems not all translations of country names are correct. By comparision with the german list of the "Permanent Commission for Contry Names" (see http://stagn.de) it seems the list in Wikipedia is correct.
      See http://141.74.33.52/stagn/Portals/0/080923_STAATENNAMEN_10_komplett.pdf for a German Country list.
