Thanks for taking care to go through this. All these reflect my work method when editing things in this file. I copy/paste other lines...and it happens that I forget about updating the code....thus leading to duplications. > 1. Duplicate ES-IB. Balears should be ES-PM. Source: > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-2:ES > > 2. Duplicate LY-JA. Al Jabal al Gharbī should be LY-JG. Source: > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-2:LY > > 3. Duplicate MA-TIZ. Tiznit is only a province and not a prefecture. > Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-2:MA > > 4. Duplicate MA-ZAG. Zagora is only a province and not a prefecture. > Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-2:MA > > 5. Duplicate OM-MU. Z̧ufār should be OM-ZU. Source: > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-2:OM > > 6. Duplicate PE-CAL. Municipalidad Metropolitana de Lima should be > PE-LMA. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-2:PE All these are fixed now. > > > > Possible bugs relating to incorrect source data from ISO.
