What then is P17 supposed to be used for?
Could, I, for example, use P17 on the address of the Swiss embassy in Germany and have Switzerland as the value?
"associated" is generally too weak a word to use in describing properties.

Markus,
Devils in the details. =)
You used the English word "associated". That's great. Then I would propose to expand the definition of P17 just a bit to add that.
P17 Country - sovereign state of this item ... to ... sovereign state ASSOCIATED with this item
Then you save the world. =)
Thoughts ? Agreement ?
Secondly, the Description: (Description :colon: on the Discussion page https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property_talk:P17) is defining a Country... not the description of the Country __Property__..which is the line just above it. How is the Description :colon: line supposed to work or be really used for ? Seems like the Description :colon: line is basically describing the Represents :colon: line.... lol. Very confusing.
