Automatic linking


Countries are specified using ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 codes. The only countries currently supported are Australia (AUS), Canada (CAN), New Zealand (NZL), and the United Kingdom (GBR). If a country is not specified, the Canadian list will be used, as it duplicates most of the British list.

Note that this is case-sensitive; "country=GBR" will invoke the British list, but "Country=GBR" will default to the Canadian list.

Exceptions
