Added <states> tag according to ISO 3166-2 (https://www.iso.org/obp/ui/#iso:code:3166:PE).

I can see that not all the regions that appear here: https://www.iso.org/obp/ui/#iso:code:3166:PE were added to this PR. Is it on purpose?
I noticed that some of them appear two times on the website, but I think some are still missing (e.g. Wanuku).
Could you double-check, please? 😇

Suggested change

	<state name="Callao" iso_code="CAL" country="PE" zone="South America" />
	<state name="El Callao" iso_code="CAL" country="PE" zone="South America" />

Thank you for reviewing my PR. I updated correction "Callao" to "El Callao" (as it is stated in the ISO.org website).

A further investigation, the official country website (https://www.peru.gob.pe/directorio/pep_directorio_poderes.asp?cod_poder=7) shows "Callao" without any pronouns ("El"), but it preserves the pronoun "La" in "La Libertad".

So I went to Perú's Constitution (https://www.congreso.gob.pe/Docs/constitucion/constitucion/Constitucion-politica-Peru.pdf) in its "duodécima" article, which states

Duodécima. La organización política departamental de la República comprende los departamentos siguientes:
Amazonas, Ancash, Apurímac, Arequipa, Ayacucho, Cajamarca, Cusco, Huancavelica, Huánuco, Ica, Junín, La Libertad, Lambayeque, Lima, Loreto, Madre de Dios, Moquegua, Pasco, Piura, Puno, San Martín, Tacna, Tumbes, Ucayali; y la Provincia Constitucional del Callao.

So all names matches the ones at ISO website, except for "El Callao" which is called "Provincia Constitucional del Callao".

So it doesn´t seems the government itself or its population uses the formal and larger name. I believe if we stick with the less proper name "Callao" or "El Callao" with its pronoun, we will be fine.

PS. I noticed after I commited your suggested change, "El Callao" is not in proper line following the alphabetical order. I wonder if I should force update the patch. Although not that it matters, it doesn´t affect the final result (PS will order them alphabetically when showing them to the user), it is just a personal thing on the way I read the xml.

Hi @rickygzz, thanks for this explanation. @eternoendless is a Spanish native speaker, so maybe he can help you decide whether we should use "El Callao" or "Callao".

[eternoendless]

I don't know what the custom in Peru is for this region, but I would personally not use the pronoun. Since the capital city is called "Callao" I think it's a safe bet to call the province just Callao as well.

The iso website shows the name for each state (region) in 3 different languages for this country.

You could click on the language column to order names by its languages.

I added the Spanish variation as the most widely used language in Peru (the other 2 languages are indigenous or native ones)

[rickygzz]

Just to expand my explanation on https://www.iso.org/obp/ui/#iso:code:3166:PE showing the names in 3 different languages...

In the case of Wanuku (ISO code HUC) seems to be the name in Aymara and Quechua languages ("aym" and "que" language codes), while in Spanish ("spa" language code) it is called Huánuco.

As a Spanish native speaker, if I try to pronounce Wanuku kind of resembles Huánuco. And we should stick with Spanish, as it is the official language in the Perú's Constitution (https://www.congreso.gob.pe/Docs/constitucion/constitucion/Constitucion-politica-Peru.pdf )

Artículo 48. Son idiomas oficiales el castellano y, en las zonas donde predominen, también lo son el quechua, el aimara y las demás lenguas aborígenes, según la ley.

(Article 48.) The official languages are Spanish, and in the zones where it predominates, also the quechua, the aimara and the other native languages, according to the law.

Also the Constitution states

Duodécima. La organización política departamental de la República comprende los departamentos siguientes: Amazonas, Ancash, Apurímac, Arequipa, Ayacucho, Cajamarca, Cusco, Huancavelica, Huánuco, Ica, Junín, La Libertad, Lambayeque, Lima, Loreto, Madre de Dios, Moquegua, Pasco, Piura, Puno, San Martín, Tacna, Tumbes, Ucayali; y la Provincia Constitucional
del Callao.
