Thank you for pointing this out.

It is an interesting point of curiosity, but as I am sure you realize,
this particular small factoid neither rebutts nor dininishes my basic
thesis, which is (a) that all resource and organization records should
have a country: and (b) that the values in these country: fields should
obey either some generally accepted and recognized standard (e.g. ISO
3166) or at the very least some well defined and well documented convention.
