Given the ISO code for a country, it checks if the English language name of the country matches a template name (e.g., EE → {{Estonia}}). If such a template exists, it calls that template; if not, it returns the English name. The individual country templates provide localization of country names, and link the localized name to the Wikipedia entry in the relevant language (e.g., {{Estonia}} produces: Template:Estonia).
