Note that some areas, particular North-Eastern, African nations are classified as Arab. Romanian and Pakistani may be difficult to identify in some datasets but do appear to be recognisably unique in sufficient volume. The various [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavic_peoples Slavic definitions] do not tie precisily to their accepted geographical and linguistic definitions but are suitably close as to be used.
The source file was not sufficiently detailed for many countries for them to be included in the classification. This is not necessarily a problem; the remaining countries account for a very low percentage of the world's population and for most applications we are only interested in classifications that a human could make in a real world context. The definition file for this classification system ([http://www.edegan.com/repository/Culture-EganClassification.txt Culture-EganClassification.txt]) uses [[UN GeoRegion Codes | UN recognized country names]] and excludes unclassifiable countries.
