 Unfortunately we've got a bunch of country lists throughout the
 wordcamp.org codebase. e.g.:

 `question_field_country()`
 `MES_Sponsor::markup_meta_boxes()`
 `WordCamp_Post_Type_Plugin::metabox_sponsor_info()`

 I think we should update them all to use `wcorg_get_countries()` as the
 canonical list. That uses ISO-3166, and does include Hong Kong. Then we
 can update `wcorg_get_countries()` to change `Taiwan, Province of China`
 to just `Taiwan`.

 CampTix couldn't use that function directly, since it's distributed in the
 w.org repo, but we've talked about removing it from the repo in the past,
 and this might be a good time to do that. If we do, then it could use the
 function. If we don't do that, we could copy/paste the canonical list into
 CampTix's existing function.

 It'd be good to also use Select2 on all of those fields above; related
