I know that Wikipedia is not always a trusted source of information, but this page is pretty accurate: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_Ireland Unfortunately or fortunately, depending on one's point of view, by international convention (meaning that all parties were in agreement at the time of signing) Ireland's country code is IE. Ireland was part of this agreement. Marc I think you keep confusing Ireland as a country and Ireland as geographical island. Ireland the country does not cover all of Ireland the geographical island. Ireland's country code is IE but does not apply to the whole of Ireland the geographical island. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_Ireland is not part of IE but of UK. -- Frederic
But you are speaking on a geographical/physical term which is what we are not. We are speaking of country-code and language-code. There could be an international organization codifying the geographical/physical code of land masses --- I don't know.
But this is not what we are talking about. Marc
