# this isn't in the same class as those above, but for some reason (of
# which I am not aware), `uk' is the common practice country code for the
# United Kingdom. AFAICT, the official `gb' code is routinely ignored!
# If you have a clue as to why this is, or if there is an official
# document describing this, please let me know. ISO3166 certainly makes
# no mention of this.
