You're hitting the 16-character limit on observation markers,

Ah OK. I see that this is sort-of documented for the case of importing
a
dataset from file in the guide ch. 4 - but probably should be added to
the "markers" doc as well, no? (Not saying you should do it...)
P.S. markers --from-file handles embedded spaces without requiring
quotation. So if you did
print "United Kingdom"
instead of
printf "\"United Kingdom\""
in your outfile block you'd get what I presume is the desired result.
Yep thanks, I was actually aware of that. But in practice the file came
like that with the quotes. I was just imitating it for the minimal example.
