Hong Kong and Macao/Macau are NOT countries as our Chinese families have told us several times. Please rename them properly if we can't edit the names ourselves.

We have a lot of International students enrolled; if their country does not exist in the pre-populated list, either their home address does not get added or we need to choose a country "close" to where they actually live. Neither option is acceptable.

the system should allow schools to modify/edit/add these values

Country names are political. Different organizations will have different needs with regards to the published name for some countries.
