Great to see this feature, nice little touches like this make all the difference

I have been reading up more on this, the international comms standard is 2 letters. This explains why every other app i've ever used uses 2 letters.

It's called the International Standard ISO-3166-1993.

PS: Interesting it uses GB, when we only ever use UK nowadays

According to one site "The British Isles is an area divided between two sovereign states, namely the UK and the Republic of Ireland. It includes the Isle of Man. Use of this term sometimes includes the Channel Islands, but this is not consistent".

Strangely, the UK has an "exceptional reservation" for their country code.

But DigitalGhost modified the iptocountry.csv that MAMEHub uses to display GBR as UK_ instead.

Yeah thats great, nobody uses GB anymore. Even when you send letters today, you always state United Kingdom ( www.bitboost.com/ref/international-address-formats/united-kingdom/ )

OK, so thats a more up to date list of country codes on the wiki. If you look further up that same page, the ISO 3166 standard codes are all 2 letters, not 3.

Just saying
