<upd_detl>yes, but we do have 英, 米, 伊,　濠 etc. in the dictionary 
and the only difference, really, is that they are more 
common.</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>i don't really like having entries for most of those either... they really are kanwa elements. there's something to be said for that commonness element as a criterion for inclusion too.  i don't know if we have a policy on inclusion of these</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>I think they are useful and should be in here - 仏 etc. 
will be used as nouns in newspaper headlines for example.
"仏を１段階格下げ＝財政赤字削減、不十分－フィッチ"

<upd_detl>fair enough, but there eventually has to be some cut-off based on common understanding.  everyone knows 仏, but could 白 be used in the same context without confusing most of the readership?</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>From my understanding, it seems unlikely it'd be widely 
understood enough to be used by itself in a newspaper 
headline, but then again that could obviously be said of 
a lot of words which still belong in the dictionary. 
Here are some usage examples:

http://www.be.emb-
japan.go.jp/japanese/archives_j/news_131021.html
"白日友好議連会長及び副会長訪問"
book from 1959:
"...最後にイギリスが賠償の早期解決のために単独行動に出なければば
フランスとベルギ—が、ル—ル地方で莫大な費用をかけ ... 員会が実際に

道具と化していること(同委員会の四人の委員中仏白が一致すれば、英伊
が反対で..."
book from 1979:
"先ずイギリス案を提出させ仏白がこれに反対"
book from 1963:
"ベルギ—案を容れ八月分以降の現金支払はドイツから六ケ月期限の
大蔵省証券をこの会議の善後措置について賠償委員会で協議したが、議
容易に
まとまらず、最後(八月三う緊迫した場面を生ん ... (日、英、仏、伊、
白)が開かれたが、
仏"
book from 2008:
"このサイトでは白英仏の宣言語で、日本のファッションを中心にネット販売
しています。"

mostly it appears together with outher country names and 
I wasn't able to find any evidence of it being used 
entirely by itself, but that's possibly because there are 
so many false positives what with 白 having quite a lot 
of other meanings.</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>yes, i think the only way anyone would normally understand this to mean belgium as a standalone term is when it's listed alongside a bunch of obvious countries.  it's a pretty questionable inclusion, and i think it belongs as kanwa, but since kanjidic only has "white" for 白, it should go in either here or there</upd_detl>

I do not know whether the pronunciation しろ is used the same, or whether it refers to the tile only.
