Format of Geographic Cutter Numbers

The notation for a specific jurisdiction is composed of two letters and one or two numbers (i.e., GI8—Italy, JK6—South Korea, AN1—Nebraska).

The first letter of a notation represents the broad geographical region or jurisdiction, and the second one is the first letter of the name of a smaller region which can be a country, or, in the case for the states of the United States, a state. Do not confuse a letter "I" with a number "1", or a letter "O" with a number "0".
