made a county_names.list with the names for reference without having to enter the command.
clarified the sort -S option details in the readme.md - with an example

for sort "-S", and the "estimated" category what does the result 4gg or 10gg mean? what does gg mean? higher number is better, but what are we looking at?

At the moment the list of countries is parsed from the official Arch Linux website.
This will be changed in the next version, given the impossibility of creating a reliable parser to find the country of a Server, a new feature will be implemented that will actually find what the Country is without having to rely on third-party files
I'm completely walking through the codebase and probably some of the software topics as well, so I recommend waiting for the next release before creating any more pull requests. With a bit of luck, the next release could be out by the end of the month.

will do. also, will there be the ability to use multiple countries? helpful for EU obviously, but useful for more redundancy, or is there a way to do this that already that can be better documented?

ah, yes...right with this line:
ghostmirror -Po -c Italy,Germany,France -l ./mirrorlist.new -L 30 -S state,outofdate,morerecent,ping

its called out in an example, but I will also describe in the options area later, thanks for clarification.

can you tell me what the units for estimated are with the -S sort function? 10gg, 4gg. Sorts based on higher number, what does the "gg" mean?

last question for now, mostly just for my own understanding. will wait for next release just thought i'd ask what i was seeing
