In preparation for setting up the locale files with the right working week values, I thought I'd do a quick check on our l10n status against the official ISO standard list and the UN list of recognised entities.  Of the 246 currently on the ISO list, we have locale files for 228  So who are we missing?

• AQ Antarctica
• BL Saint Barthelemy
• BV Bouvet Island
• GF French Guiana
• GG Guernsey
• GS South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands
• HM Heard Island and MacDonald Islands
• IM Isle of Man
• IO British Indian Ocean Territory
• JE Jersey
• MF Saint Martin
• MP Northern Mariana Islands
• RE Reunion
• SJ Svalbard and Jan Mayen
• SL Sierra Leone
• TF French Southern Territories
• UM United States Minor Outlying Islands
• YT Mayotte

OK, so there's a fair number of UK, US, and French territories in there, and some very remote uninhabited islands that are clearly to be considered as part of their parent country for locale purposes.  Yet they are officially recognised to some extent and many have the various trappings like flags and limited self-governance.  Where to draw the line is tricky, but if you're a KDE user from one of these territories and want to make a case for inclusion, then I'm willing to listen.  Jersey, Gurnsey and the Isle of Man could make good cases, as could the more autonomous French Collectivities.  Anyone claiming to be from Bouvet Island will be ignored as not existing :-)
The notable one here is Sierra Leone which undoubtably should be included.  Another difference is we have an old locale code of TP for East Timor, when the official code is now TL and the official name is now Timor-Leste.  With the feature and string freeze kicking in tomorrow, it's probably a bit late to fix these now, but we'll have to sort it in 4.3.
