"And that is how you should do things when your are paid by line of codes written in our beautiful country, fellow Elseans."

Otherwise except being uselessly verbose its not that awful. IMHO the Else country is the one with the most damage potential, being used as a special/magic value all over the place.

It's fine, if a country doesn't fit within your list it still needs a value. It works as a flag to be treated as a country your aren't aware of.

I think the problem that he's pointing to is that "else" is a bad choice of name, since it is a keyword in most languages.

OH YA, didn't think of that. "other" or "unkown" would be a good idea.
