Hello.

When looking at the world data set, there is an id (label=GLC: Country ID
Number) column.  What does GLC stand for? and is there a data set available
that would have a mapping of this column to the name of the country? and
just for the sake of hoping a birdie is listening, a map to the top level
domain?  I have looked at the country_name2 data sets and they have an id
column as well but I'm not sure if the value of id=685 (for Norway) in the
norway2 data set represents Norway in the world data set.  There are 10,138
obs (all them fjords I guess) out of 456,001 in the world data set where
id=685.

Anyway...

For example it would be nice to have (hypothetically and to reference some
of the more common) ...

GLC     Name                            Top Level Domain
------- --------                                -------------------------
60      Turks and Caicos Islands        tc
83      Heard and McDonald Islands      hm
94      Antarctica                      aq
103     Guinea-Bissau                   gw

and so on and so forth ...

Thanks,

Nick
