It's clear to me, that I could map "Hana" and "Kata" to "US" just for
the sake of having a Japanese Minority in the states.
This might not work too well, since the ISO 15924 code elements you're
thinking of are "Hira" and "Kana".
Of course, the mapping must be sensible in a way, that is, explain,
how the mapping is done. I'd be fine, I guess, with having all
official languages and important historic ones respected (disputable
cases, where larger minority languages are suppressed, may exist of
course).
You've sort of defined your own problem: how to decide when minority
usage of a script within a country is "significant" or "important" or
"sensible." Remember, too, that "official languages" may not be what you
expect; English, for example, is not defined as an official language in
the US, UK, Australia, or New Zealand.
