UK not recognized? about country-region-selector

[benkeen]

Hey @yabdab! No, I'm afraid UK won't work. The script needs unique identifiers for each country to know what country is being specified. Those country string are defined in the countryShortCode values in this file:
https://github.com/benkeen/country-region-data/blob/master/data.json#L17198-L17201

So GB is the one you need to use for the UK. That's the ISO-3166-2 value (which is what this script uses):
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-2:GB

All the best!

OK, thanks for the reply. A simple replacing "GB" with "UK" fixes the issue. Most Shipping APIs want UK and not GB
