[SV] Formal name for United Kingdom about ultimate-geography

[axelboc]

Hi @melissis, thanks for the heads-up! However, as per our guidenlines, we take country names from the titles of the Wikipedia articles. In this case, the title is still Storbritannien. There's a discussion thread about changing it, but it doesn't seem to be going ahead for now. FYI, Wikipedia's guidelines dictate that a country name has to become mainstream before it can be used as the title of the country's article.

That being said, please feel free to mention Förenade kungariket in the Country info field! Either "Also know as" or "Formally known as" would work I think, but up to you.

Oh my bad! I think just the short name is enough, then, don't you think?

I should have been a bit clearer, perhaps. I was only thinking about the Country info field.

Some of the Swedish columns have "Formally", but I don't know I should put the long name there, or the short name, or both.
