-GB Britain (UK) +GB Britain
What's the justification for this change, or indeed for this entry? The country coded GB is "The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland". "Britain" is a generic term referring to part of the UK *and* part of France. "Great Britain" is the single largest landmass in the UK, but so what? NEITHER "Britain" NOR "Great Britain" IS THE NAME OF THIS COUNTRY. Would you accept: US America or US Continental contiguous United States ? -- Clive D.W.
