Aside: I notice we use both #CaPoli and #CanPoli here in Canada. I will never forgive the internet standards people for going with the 2-letter iso names instead of the 3-letter ones for country-TLDs and language-codes.

3-letter codes would prevent the "is CA Canada or California".

The biggest countries use 2-letter state/prov codes, so 3-letter countries would prevent ambiguity.

My site should be Pxtl.can, written in en-can not Pxtl.ca written in en-ca.

#ISO appears to have changed SHORT name of the #Netherlands in its widely-used #countrycodes list from "Netherlands (the)" to "Netherlands (Kingdom of the)", making it same as the official long version name. This would usually follow a change at the UN. Anyone know what's going on?

North #Korea has changed the status of #Kaesong from a "special city" to a "metropolitan city". I'm not sure what that entails.

It is the first content change in North Korea's #ISO3166 list in ages.
