Well, I'm sitting here today at work trying to get this shipping rate web service to work and finding out how non-standard country codes and names are, again. I say again because I first built a database table to store countries a while back and am now finding that what is shipping carriers use is different then what the ISO and UN publish. You would think that these governing bodies would be able to come up with a unified system for something that seems so important.

Thanks for listening, I just needed to rant a bit while I try and work this out.
