A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
The french localization for the 'GY' country code is wrong.
It should be "Guyana" instead of "Guyane".


STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Very easy to reproduce:

import java.util.Locale;

public class TestLocale {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Locale locale = new Locale("en", "gy");
System.out.print(locale.getDisplayCountry(new Locale("fr")));
}
}

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
It should display the string "Guyana".
ACTUAL -
"Guyane"

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

Locale locale = new Locale("en", "gy");
System.out.print(locale.getDisplayCountry(new Locale("fr")));

}

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
Either we will have to patch the JVM, or extends the Locale class to provide the correct value for the GF country code.
