    It’s interesting to me that Africa is 2. I’d assume that when these were implemented Africa would be a cultural afterthought and Europe would’ve gotten number 2.

    Curious what the thought process was there.

      It’s interesting to me that the US, Canada, Russia, and Kazakhstan get single digit codes, and the rest of the world get double or triple digits.
