Hi all,

The RIPE Network Coordination Centre has tried to get ISO 3166 updates with
the latest information. We did so by calling the ISO 3166 maintenance office
in Germany. Out of this conversation and some faxes we compiled the following
new version of ISO 3166. The new entries are labeled "new". Some countries
are wtill awaiting UN number code.

Adios,

-Marten
