Some countries always flagged in cc_coun #99

Hi,

First of all, this is a great package. Thanks a lot for the hard work!
I have been using this package for a while, but recently, I have encountered problems when flagging coordinates with the country test in the clean_coordinates() function. I have run this several times, and it appears that all coordinates within certain countries are flagged every time. Specifically, I have been working with a rather large GBIF dataset, and when running the country test, all records within Norway and France are flagged, regardless of the actual location of the coordinates (manual plotting indicates everything is okay). Not sure if this may also be happening for other countries.

Here's a subset of the data I have used (records for Norway and France):
exampledata2.csv. And (just in case it's needed) here's all the data that I have used simultaneously when running the clean_coordinates() function.

I am using the version 3.0.1 of CoordinateCleaner, and this is how I call the clean_coordinates() function:

geo_flags <- clean_coordinates(x = data,
                               lon = "decimalLongitude",
                               lat = "decimalLatitude",
                               countries = "countryCode",
                               tests = c("capitals", "centroids", "equal", 
                                         "institutions", "seas", "zeros", "countries"),
                                 capitals_rad = 1000)
