Module Standards.FIPS10_4

Description

This module implements the FIPS10-4 standard for short-form codes of "Countries, Dependencies, Areas of Special Sovereignty, and Their Principal Administrative Divisions."

This is a list of two-letter country codes used by the US government until 2008-10-02, when GENC, based on ISO 3166 replaced it as the prefered standard. The subdivisions are named using the main region name followed by two digits.

This list is similar to, but not entirely compatible with, ISO-3166 alpha-2.
