- Maybe there should be some type or property for designating official current
countries? Seems like a list of the countries of the world should be one of the
definitively simple things to get out of Freebase, and the above MQL is not
"definitively simple".

Perhaps a "UN recognized country" type? (using the United Nations as the defining body to avoid disputes about whether, e.g. Taiwan is recognised)

I feel like that type, documented to be "currently recognised only", would be a
(rare!) useful bucket type.
