There have been many requests to add new countries to the COO list and also their languages to the audio and subtitle lists. For some reason that is very unclear to some of us, Ken does not what to add the missing countries/languages at this time. Hopefully some day soon it will happen.

It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!

Of course, even some of the existing countries are less than idea. For example, Solaris (1972) was made in the USSR, and is given a CoO "Former Soviet Republic" (or some such; I'm at work and can't check the exact wording), which is not unreasonable, though "USSR" would be better. But then you get things like The Defense of Sevastopol (1912), made in Russia before the formation of the Soviet Union, and Mamay (2003) made in Ukraine after the USSR collapsed.

Grouping all of these together into a single country is like forcing a film made in Arizona into a "Former Spanish Empire" CoO.
