- Created the Country class with ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 and alpha-3 codes, ensuring minimal design without additional metadata. - Integrated the Country class into CustodianPlace and LegalForm schemas to support country-specific feature types and legal forms. - Removed duplicate keys in FeatureTypeEnum.yaml, resulting in 294 unique feature types. - Eliminated "Hypernyms:" text from FeatureTypeEnum descriptions, verifying that semantic relationships are now conveyed through ontology mappings. - Created example instance file demonstrating integration of Country with CustodianPlace and LegalForm. - Updated documentation to reflect the completion of the Country class implementation and hypernyms removal.
