And then someone tries to use it for an app where you have to select which national football you play for.

Or anything involving legal system/jurisdiction or company registration (both of which are differ between countries within the UK).

The UK and the Netherlands are both (according to ISO 3166-2 [0]) countries which contain other countries.

In the case of The Netherlands, this is plain wrong.

The Kingdom of the Netherlands contains four countries, being The Netherlands, Aruba, Curaçao, and Sint Maarten. According to ISO 3166-2, there exists a country "The Netherlands" which contains the other three. Close, but not correct.
