International Democratic Union Country Codes - Mikitivity - 04-13-2005

I'd like to suggest that we agree on a set of standard IDU Country Codes.  We are small enough that a two letter code might be appropriate, but I'm open to hearing ideas.

The general idea is that I was thinking (about the real world) that MK might be an appropriate postal code for Mikitivity.  Smile

If there is an interest in this, I'll create an index of all our codes and move this post lower in this thread.

International Democratic Union Country Codes - Grosseschnauzer - 04-13-2005

Well GS is an obvious given. Smile


International Democratic Union Country Codes - Groot Gouda - 04-13-2005

GG is pretty obivous as a national code, but our internal postal codes are more complicated because we're such a large country.


International Democratic Union Country Codes - Federalist - 04-13-2005

PM is pretty obvious for us


International Democratic Union Country Codes - Domnonia - 04-13-2005

DO, please?


International Democratic Union Country Codes - Mikitivity - 04-14-2005

Please keep 'em coming! I'm going to suggest that along with our building a map that we consider drafting an agreement that vehicles (boats, planes, trains, and autos) be registered using these codes in order to standardize things for our nations.


International Democratic Union Country Codes - Malabra - 04-14-2005

Please add the country code "MA" for Malabra. Smile


International Democratic Union Country Codes - The Ayyubids - 05-05-2005

The Sultanate of the Ayyubids would like to use the country code: YY


International Democratic Union Country Codes - Keeslandia - 05-05-2005

The Empire of Keeslandia may be abbreviated by the use of "KL."


International Democratic Union Country Codes - Yuunli - 05-05-2005

And the Republic of Yuunli hereby requests the code "YU".


International Democratic Union Country Codes - DataGenesis - 05-07-2005

DataGenesis : DG


International Democratic Union Country Codes - Lloegr-Cymru - 05-08-2005

May I have LC added?

(Technically, in Welsh LL is a single letter, but that's just a silly detail.)

I'm up for ST (which happily coincides that that of Star Trek Tongue ).

And yes, I say let's make our country codes used for all standarized numbers. One of France's little wrinkles is that it's two-number departmental codes get recycled in various contexts. For instance, "75" means Paris, so all cars registered in Paris terminate in 75, it's postal code is 75000, etc. 57 is in Alsace-Lorraine (Haut-Rhin department, maybe?), 81 includes Toulon (Bouches-du-Rh?ne department, perhaps?), etc.

I also nominate Yuunli as our Regional Postmaster General. On one of his other sites, he's done a study of postal codes:

I would be happy to serve as Rolf's deputy in this matter. Vexillology, philately, deltiology, I'm into most hobbies ending in "y"!


International Democratic Union Country Codes - Yuunli - 05-30-2005

off topic:
57 is the Moselle department (close to where I live) in Lorraine, capital Metz. Haut-Rhin (Alsace) has 68.
81 is Tarn (Midi-Pyr?n?es = Southern France and Pyrenees), capital Albi.
Bouches-du-Rh?ne is 13 (PACA = Provence-Alpes-C?te-d'Azur), capital Marseilles.
Those codes are in alphabetical order from 01 (Ain) to 89 (Yonne) except 75 (Paris, used to be "Seine"), 90 (Territoire de Belfort, not created before 1922), 91-95 (Greater Paris) and 971-974 (D.O.M. = overseas departments).


International Democratic Union Country Codes - Sober Thought - 05-30-2005

No, Yuunli / Saaropean is definitely on topic on this one. And his grasp of the postal/departmental codes just demonstrate he's the ideal Postmaster General of the IDU. B)

International Democratic Union Country Codes - Grosseschnauzer - 06-01-2005

As to why its "KB" Historically that schnauzervolk nation was a city "Kinderlieb" when the schnauzervolk domestic postal codes were originally assigned. "Kinderliebstadt" was the name chosen to recognize Kinderlieb (the city)'s origin as a municipality when it became necessary for it to remain as part of The North Pacific for NS purposes even though it is otherwise a part of Grosseschnauzer when GS came to the IDU. So the K and the B are merely the first and last letters of Kinderliebstadt's original city name.


International Democratic Union Country Codes - Federation of Disjunction - 06-03-2005

Disjunction would like DJ.

Thanks!


International Democratic Union Country Codes - wondervolle - 07-08-2005

If possible, could Wondervolle be given the regional code WV.

Doesn't need to be officially approved by me. Smile It looks good ... and I can copy this and edit mine, since it is the top of the thread. But any moderator of this forum can do that, and I highly encourage that!


International Democratic Union Country Codes - RepublicOfKalida - 07-23-2005

If it's not too much trouble, the Republic of Kalida would like to be recognized as "RK".
