FIPS-10 country codes deprecated
The FIPS-10 document is being withdrawn. It was deprecated in 2008,
and is being updated now only until all the agencies that use it
have switched to something else. The current version no longer lists
the long names for countries. These long names (such as 'Republic of
Albania' for Albania) only appeared in the old FIPS-10 document
which is no longer available, so they are no longer available in
this module.

I will continue to support the FIPS-10 codeset as long as it is
available, but at that point, it will be withdrawn immediately. If
an official end-of-life date is announced, I will include a notice
here. Otherwise, support for the codeset will be discontinued when
the document is withdrawn.

You are encouraged to no longer use the FIPS-10 codeset.

Domain country codes now come from ISO 3166
The IANA domain codes have changed slightly. The IANA no longer
publishes a list of countries associated with their codes. Instead,
they use the ISO 3166 codes and country names. However, they support
a few non-standard codes, so I will continue to maintain this
codeset. The domain codes are now lowercase to correspond to the ISO
3166 codes.
