For some reason, in WebAssembly builds the fields of CountryCode become private and instead have getter methods (so instead of .name you have to use .name()). I thought I was going crazy for a while because this is obviously not visible in the docs!

Is there a reason for this? This means that if the same code using this library is used in a wasm and a native application, it has to be feature gated to access fields in a different way, or do some kind of workaround with maybe a trait over the CountryCode field.

just a question, why is PartialEq not implemented for CountryCode, couldn't they be matched on their alpha2 representation ?
Am I missing something ?

Some of the country names are polluted by Wikipedia footnotes. For example, Afghanistan and Cyprus have their English names listed by this library as Afghanistan[b] and Cyprus[b] due to a footnote linking to naming disputes.

As I understand, the largest numeric is 999. Furthermore, there are no negative numerics. What's the rationale for choosing i32 here? It seems like u16 would be a more appropriate fit.

Without Ord, CountryCode cannot be used in various data structures, such as BTreeSet.
