Man with Too Many Countries, The Sequel

In July 2011 I wrote a blog called Man with Too Many Countries which was inspired by a project I was working on that involved identifying the best online payment methods available for most of the countries in the world.  I find myself in the unlucky position of again having to search for the 2 digit ISO codes of a large number of countries, and I have again learned something new.  That Gabon, for exampe ("GA") is actually a country and not some kind of monkey.  And that the person who assigned the country code to Morocco probably couldn't spell, because Morocco's code is MA, where as Macao's code is MO.  Go figure.
