Country names format

[jmargutt]

@gulfaraz when creating an event, is there a standard format of country names that the API accepts? To make sure the position is correctly shown on the world map.

@jmargutt In the interface, if the string exceeds the max-width, the excess text will be hidden with ellipses. The max-width depends on the browser resolution.

The API accepts a string of up to 255 characters length for the country parameter.

But how does the ADA Portal know where to place the country in the world map (first page of the ADA-UI)?

There should be a co-ordinates (lat, lng) value in the event object. I have it in my local but it's not in production. I'll update it.
