"I just heard from the ISO - there's good news and bad news."
"The ISO ... did the Convention finally get a country code?"
Prudence nodded. "That's the good news. The bad news is that we didn't get FS."
"What did we get?"
"Fenspace Convention - FC."
"How is that bad news? We can make a fortune selling web domains to football clubs!"
"Really?"
"Are you sure you're Scottish? You need to get out of the server room more often."
(Meta: At the moment, both FS and FC are unassigned and unreserved country codes. And the Vatican has a country code, so a country doesn't need to be a UN member to get a CC.)

them. Adversaries remain citizens of the same state, common subjects of
the same sovereign, servants of the same law."
