Given that Genealogy is a worldwide activity as people move, the focus of the place authority being the USA even on the "UK" version is very frustrating. A county without country automatically links to a USA variant rather than looking at other information in the record to see which is most likely. I do have people worldwide but the vast majority is UK based.
It would also be helpful if historic versions of a place were included to be able to maintain authentic to the record rather than the present day. I am aware of the various workarounds but these are decidedly suboptimal.
