On my phone, while using Google Contacts app to enter someone's new telephone number, I chose this country code:
Canada

After saving the edit, the app has changed the flag beside the country code:
Uni.ted Sta.tes

That's a rather tone-deaf change of data that I intentionally entered, since Canada is pointedly not part of the Unit.ed S.tates.

Coding decisions can be political and offensive.
