You will have to fix the run time.  Try running the example on a smaller 
dataset, or don't run it at all (by putting it in \donttest{}). The file 
size may be acceptable to CRAN; you will need to make an argument to 
them in your upload.

The note about the "\_" entries comes from "country\_codes\_V202201" 
(and similar).  That's not legal Rd syntax.  You could use 
"\code{country_codes_V202201}" or some other verbatim wrapper.

I see a 4th note, about files Combined_Results.csv and 
Combined_Results.xlsx.  If those files are produced by an example or 
test, they should be in tempdir().
