Peter:
>> "TC" for the UAE?
> TruCial Oman (or TruCial States)??

Trucial States, I think. I presumed FIPS changed the digraph because
the Trucial States were not exactly congruent with the UAE in boundary
terms (they change administrative region numbers when the boundaries
of a region change, even if the name stays the same). But I'd have to
confess I have no evidence to support that.
