Difference (from prior major revision) (author diff)

Changed: 1,4c1
The following is a list of obsolete ISO 3166 two-letter country codes, included here for reference.
Note that many of these codes were withdrawn before the introduction of the Domain Name System, and so were never used as top-level domains.
For each code, the year of withdrawal is given in parentheses.
Once five years have passed from the time of withdrawal the code is free to be reallocated, as has been done with AI, GE and SK.
Content moved to ISO 3166.
