The United Kingdom ISO 3166-2 Alpha2 Code is "GB", not "UK"

[edit]

Great map of European ISO 3166-1 codes!

Unfortunately I found a mistake in it: United Kingdom has the GB code, not UK!

This is the only exception where the Top Level Domain (.uk) does not match the ISO 3166-1 Alpha2 code. Myself, I hate the standard for that, as "UK" would be much more appropriate, because the term "United Kingdom" includes Northern Ireland what "Great Britain" does not. But it is as it is. ISO 3166-1 defines "United Kingdom" = "GB".

Please correct it.

Hey, thanks for the update! The issue left is to adapt the legend as well and convert the legend of GB from Grã-Bretanha / Great Britain to Reino Unido / United Kingdom as "GB" - unfortunately - stands for "United Kingdom" (sic!) --141.30.207.240 20:44, 14 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
