You have stumbled on a "strange but true" thing with ISO codes.
The code is GB but the description is United Kingdom.

You'll see what I mean here:

Frustrating but true. I'll get it added to the documentation to warn people :)

Subject: FYI Digital Certs CSR Country Code for UK



Hey,

Since its drove me insane trying to figure out why my CSR was wrong,
here's a reference for those who might see this in the future.

The OSRS API Error is "Invalid Field: CSR  Problem: Field ''CSR'' is
invalid: CSR", which is totally useless to debug, and the Geotrust
site's error is "Please enter a valid CSR".  Talk about vague!

In my case it turned out that the two-letter ISO abbreviation in my CSR
was set to "UK", whereas Geotrust wants "GB". I'm pretty sure it should
be "UK"... 

Andy.
