Can the Channel Islands be added as a “Country”?

In the drop down list of countries we currently have the Isle of Man, a British Crown Dependency, but not the Channel Islands, a similar dependency. The islands have their own TV service (unlike the Isle of Man) and currently any TV shows produced in or shown only in the Channel Islands have to be incorrectly attributed to the UK.

Captain: The Channel Islands are not a crown dependency in themselves (as a combination). Rather, they are organized as two separate crown dependencies: Jersey and Guernsey. See https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/5e398990e5274a08e229ca0f/crown-dependencies-factsheet-february-2020.pdf for information about that. Jersey and Guernsey each have their own country codes on IMDb: [je] and [gg], respectively. TV shows produced by a company from the Channel Islands should have that company attributed to either Jersey or Guernsey, as the case may be.
