More information on countries.
In 2021, the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sovereign_states United Nation recognize 193 countries] but Open Food Facts also recognize other territories, such as overseas regions/territories such as French Guiana, Guadeloupe, French Polynesia, etc. This field is taxonomized ([https://github.com/openfoodfacts/openfoodfacts-server/blob/main/taxonomies/countries.txt source code]). Though, Open Food Facts accepts all values and some people or some bogus tools enter other values, which leads to have bad values.

In the database, this field is called <code>countries</code>. This field allows to compute the <code>countries_tags</code> field, the normalized version of countries, which allows to show the name of a country in the desired language, thanks to countries taxonomy. Eg: when <code>Italy</code> is entered from a page in english (say, world.openfoodfacts.org), <code>countries_tags</code> becomes <code>en:italy</code>.
