title: Get RegionInfo by country name?
body: <p>I want to be able to get <code>RegionInfo</code> by doing the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>new RegionInfo("United Kingdom");
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but this throws an exception and says that it is not recognised.</p>
  
  <p>This <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/aa328577%28v=vs.71%29.aspx">page on RegionInfo</a> says that an exception is thrown if 'name is not a valid country/region name'.</p>
  
  <p>And yet this <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.globalization.regioninfo%28VS.80%29.aspx">page</a> specifies a list of predefined regions used by the class that and contains <code>United Kingdom</code>, so why doesn't creating a new <code>RegionInfo</code> with country name work?</p>
