Obvious first candidates are the government-generated works of the UK, Canada and Israel,
but there will certainly be other countries that could take advantage of the policy, if

I think it would be the best if _all_ URAA affected files would be kept

But in the case of in the country of origin PD works which are foreign

works could be accepted on Commons even when a written statement of the
foreign government doesn't exist.
