Why is Antarctica on the list?
- mattmanser 15y agoThey probably used the ISO list. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1
- xthlc 15y agoNot to mention Bouvet Island -- an uninhabited volcano in the Antarctic covered by glaciers. If you try to land there, the Norwegian navy will fire on you as it's a "nature preserve". It's OK though -- most country selectors include BV, since they lazily use ISO3166-1 as a canonical list of countries when in fact it just defines country codes. When you embark on a redesign, it's usually a good idea to start by revisiting your content.
