Then we can remove it, at least it's my opinion.
Neogia team?

Like I mentioned it made shipping more difficult for me. I don't think there
is really any issue in regards to confusing one of
the overseas departments with Continental France because each of the overseas
departments have their own country codes:
France (FR)
Martinique (MQ)
Guadeloupe (GP)
Réunion (RE)
French Guiana (GF)
With the above list there is really no room for confusion. The confusion comes
in when we start using FX when it isn't on the
official ISO 3166 list. FX is the only 'country' we have in OFBiz that isn't
on that list.

When you want to distinguish some external
territories (called DOM in French). DOM are parts of France, but not
metropolitan.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overseas_department. It's a moving target...

That means it's a reserved code, not that it is in active use. Specifically
I've had shipping APIs reject it as an invalid
country code meaning I have to either remove it or change the codes to match
France. Does it really serve any useful purpose in
any real world situation?
Thanks

From: "Scott Gray" <[email protected]>
Can anyone who knows anything about France explain why the following is listed
as a Country in our Geo table:
geoId: FXX
geoTypeId: COUNTRY
geoName: France, Metropolitan
geoCode: FX
geoSecCode: 249
abbreviation: FXX
Is this a typo and it should actually be using the COUNTY geoTypeId? I don't
see this listed in the ISO table:
