Interesting. According to Microsoft's documentation, the codes are
three-letter country codes specified by ISO-3166
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cdax410z%28v=VS.100%29.aspx).
However, according to Wikipedia, MCO stands for Monaco, not Macau
(https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-3).

So according to bug #5818, the problem with "People's Republic of China"
was different from "Hong Kong S.A.R.", "Macau S.A.R.", and "U.A.E.".
setlocale() handles apostrophe fine, but it's not escaped correctly in
the BKI file. I'll remove the "People's Republic of China" -> "China"
mapping I committed, and fix the escaping instead.
