Research direction

Start by comparing the UPU Bahamas PDF with the Bahamas government island list linked in the issue, then locate the repository data for Bahamas provinces. Update the three names supported by the report and resolve the conflicting Grand Bahama naming with project guidance; done means the accepted names are represented consistently.

Description

on hold

According to UPU:
"Abaco islands" should be "Abaco"
"Andros island" should be "Andros"
"Exuma and Cays" should be "Exuma"

UPU also says that "Grand Bahama" should be "Grand Bahamas", but all examples on the Bahamas post office site disagree. For example, their list of islands.
