Aha, it is pretty common to write countries short in two ways: First three letters of the countrys name (aka: FRA, GER, NOR, ITA, SPA, AUS, JAP) and domain name(fr, de,no,it, es,at,jp). I use more the former, since not many know the TLD of smaller countries.


The abbreviation for a country is not always the first three letters, just like a state's abbreviation in the US is not always the first two letters. The appropriate abbreviation for Japan is "JPN". JP, as you pointed out, is also used less formally.


 Oh, your right.
