Are these the only possibilities?

I added some countries to the list with the change in the issue, and also included the possibility to correct any capitalization typos in the listed countries.

I feel like there is a better place to put this. I am not completely sure where though; perhaps another reviewer has a better idea. However, maybe at the very least, it should be outside the function, like maybe it should be a class constant.

I was thinking of creating another class so that the map can only be accessed with a method and cannot be modified, but I'm not sure if it's the correct apporach.

@franciscoSavala I have updated #13104 with a list of common replacements to include |
Part of #13104
Outline of Solution
Added common variations for countries with help of this dataset. I am waiting for a response from the core team to know the common variations in country names. Until then, this is an idea of what the solution could be.
The solution takes the country given by free text of the request account form and then maps it with known countries. Otherwise, it leaves it as is.
