"Svalbard and Jan Mayen (Norwegian: Svalbard og Jan Mayen, ISO 3166-1 alpha-2: SJ, ISO 3166-1 alpha-3: SJM, ISO 3166-1 numeric: 744) is a statistical designation defined by ISO 3166-1 of two parts of Norway under separate jurisdictions—Svalbard and Jan Mayen. While the two are combined for the purposes of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) category, they are not administratively related." Wikipedia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Svalbard_and_Jan_Mayen

So they are administratively different, and Svalbard specifically is stated by Svalbard treaty: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Svalbard_and_Jan_Mayen

@herrniemand are you suggesting to have two entries for Svalbard and Jan Mayen?

@mledoze I am thinking about it, but I am comming with an issue that two entries will have the same iso codes.

@mledoze I think we should leave it as it is. In my other project I would have separate them, since they have different visa policy. Here it does not matter.
