Hello,
How about we add the country to the list and mark the continent with a “-“:
AF AS Afghanistan YU - Yugoslavia

Hello Michael,
thanks for your reply.
Yes, having this configurable in countries.txt would be nice indeed. Do you propose a certain syntax for this?
And yes, a tuple is a better idea here. I will wait for your reply and submit a second version of this patch then.
Thanks, and best regards, Peter Müller
Hello,
would we not want this to be configurable in countries.txt?
The list should probably be a tuple.

Both the Bouvet Island (BV) and Antarctica (AQ) are unpopulated at the time of writing. Network owners/operators putting these countries into their RIR data objects are either completely braindead or doing so for hostile reasons.
While we might correct these locations to something useful by manually creating overrides for them, the rationale behind this patch is not to let these countries appear on productive systems in the first place, as we know they _cannot_ be true.
Therefore, this patch skips any network object that has either AQ or BV country code set.
