Mike,

>i cant access that at the moment

Try removing the '.' at the end of the URL, which seems to be inadvertently
incorporated on some e-mail clients.

Sadly not. The ISO 3166 FAQ says the following...

What is the code for global, worldwide or unknown in ISO 3166-1?
A: There are no ISO 3166-1 codes for these entities because they are no
names of countries. If you need to identify such an entity in your
aplication of ISO 3166-1 please use one of the user-assigned code elements
specified in clause 8.1.3 of ISO 3166-1 .

For the record, these codes are AA, QM to QZ, XA to XZ, and ZZ, the series
AAA to AAZ, QMA to QZZ, XAA to XZZ, and ZZA to ZZZ, and the series of
numbers 900 to 999.
