Well, i really didnt know what that was, until yesterday... :) Is there a
specific size for that in printed material? I can specify a region for that
code and then each country places his own in that region.

>> >> Wikipedia. Then you can use that link

>> >>

>> >> A nice teaser for the upcoming would

>> >> monuments that aren't there yet. It
>> >> would also be nice if more people
>> >> participated who lived in rural areas,
>> >> since those monuments have the least
>> >> photos on Commons.
>> >>
>> >>
>> >> Secondary information that is crucial
