Injecting the article isn't supported by gettext.  It looks like our options
fall into the following:

* Easiest [for us]: Create 247 new translation strings (one per territory
currently included in ISO-3166); pre-populate based on ISO-3166.
* If the article is sufficiently generic we can build on z3c.i18n [1] which
provides translations for territory names.  If other languages support a generic
article ("the" in English) we could create a customized version that flags
entries as requiring an article and injects the article as needed.
* Restructure the sentence to eliminate the need for a modifier.  For example:
"Specific waivable rights may vary based on the jurisdiction (United States)."

I guess we should ping CCi to see if the middle option is viable.

CC0 results include:

"This work is published from United States."

Missing "the".

Presumably this is a fairly general translation issue, so filing under translate.
