I made this a thread, rather than just looked it up myself, because piclist is international, and I thought others might be interested too. But using you lead, I found: http://www.iana.org/cctld/cctld.htm

AK is Alaska AR is Arkansas You're on your own for the others :-) Dan Michaels wrote: > Anyone know where to go to find out the home countries of > various URL suffixes that keep popping up on piclist ???? > - like .AK [arkansas??], .PH [philadephia??], etc. > - seriously - after the countries.

I hope you appreciate that everyone outside the US is probably having a good laugh at this. It typifies how we see that Americans see the world. They don't. The "world" is bounded by Canada and Mexico. Outside of that is Mars, Venus, Jupiter, England, Australia and some other places. We look forward to seeing the Arkansas national flag at the Sydney Olympics. The where, you ask ? :-) Steve. (ROFL)

Signifying what planet the address is from. I think Sydney would qualify as "off world". _____________________________ Lance Allen Technical Officer Uni of Auckland Psych Dept New Zealand http://www.psych.auckland.ac.nz _____________________________

In New Zealand there are two locations. The one that counts is "Auckland". All the rest is "South of the Bombay Hills" There have been reported to be areas North of Auckland but this has yet to be confirmed.
