No, the ISO lists two regions that are not recognized as countries:
Palestina and Taiwan.

Well, but who decides which regions to list? Should we list every region 
someone wishes to have listed? In that case I fear that someone will 
request that we include the Greek region Makedonia in the list, and that 
it is necessary to call the region "Makedonia (the real one)" and the 
country "Macedonia (the slavic one)" to make a distinction. Then we have 
to start the whole discussion again.

I think we should only list those countries and regions that at in the ISO 
list, and use the short name used in the list.
