  "note": "The question asks which passport the person will apply with, so this list is passport issuers: sovereign states plus the widely-held non-UN documents (HK, MO, TW, XK, PS). Dependent territories are deliberately absent — a resident of Åland holds a Finnish passport and of Guadeloupe a French one, and listing the territory made the tool answer 'third country' for people who have EU free movement (s5c review). Adding one back means stating, with a source, which passport its residents hold. Labels are hand-written English usage, not CLDR's localisation, which abbreviates (\"St. Kitts & Nevis\") and disambiguates in ways no passport does (\"Congo - Kinshasa\", \"Hong Kong SAR China\"). Some entries carry `aliases`: names people still type (Turkey, Holland, Czech Republic). They are search keys only — the label the tool prints is always the official name."
