alpha3 missing for United Kingdom #5

That should be GBR.

evdb commented 11 years ago

The GBR alpha3 is already associated with the assigned allocation of GB. I'd rather not repeat it in the reserved entry.

Alright. It must have been some glitch in my code. Seems to work perfectly now. :)

@evdb

Given this:

The European Commission generally uses ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 codes with two exceptions: EL (not GR) is used to represent Greece, and UK (not GB) is used to represent the United Kingdom. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-2#Imperfect_implementations

...it would be nice to have GBR listed as the alpha3 for UK.

I'm using this package to map alpha2 country codes to alpha3 codes, and I'm getting empty string returned when the input is UK.
