				<Paragraph>For example, the ISO 3166-1, ISO 3166-2 and ISO 3166-3 Codes for The Netherlands are 'NL', 'NLD' and '528'.</Paragraph>
				<Paragraph>Due to the increasing integration of the Internet into many aspects of (business-)life, the need for coded information related to geographical concepts such as countries or places will increase. ISO 3166-1 is one of the ISO standards that help facilitate this integration process.</Paragraph>
				<Paragraph>Therefore, it is strongly advised to use only the two charachter country code from ISO 3166-1. Some financial reports (for example, the BTL91 reports) only display the ISO 3166-1 two character country codes.</Paragraph>
