- We use the country abbreviations found hereː http://sustainablesources.com/resources/country-abbreviations/
- For US State and Canada Provinces use this listː https://www.ups.com/worldshiphelp/WS16/ENU/AppHelp/Codes/State_Province_Codes.htm
- "FC Unique Name" includes City and Country (unless redundant), or City and State or Province
- No spaces or underlines in "FC Unique Name"
- Groups should be named for cities or towns, not for government or administrative districts.
