Formosa? Which decade are you in? :-) It's been called Taiwan (tw)
for a long time. My ISO country codes shows:
fm Micronesia
There is no cd but there is a tv. You should blame the small countries for
selling/renting their domain space. Given that Tuvalu can get more return
from that way than from their own use, that's totally understandable.

Sure, and let's have universal brother/sisterhood while we are at it. :-)
