    I recently added some reviews for places in England and Scotland and noticed that, although their addresses on the place page say (for example) "London, England, United Kingdom" or "Edinburgh, Scotland, United Kingdom", they get rendered in my "Place Ratings" list as "London, GB2, GB" and "Edinburgh, GB6, GB".

    I think it would be nice to change the "GB2" and "GB6" to something clearer -- perhaps maybe the ISO-3166 subregion codes ENG and SCT (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-2:GB)? The same idea would apply to Wales and Northern Ireland as well, of course.

    Is this reasonable or are GB2/GB6 too baked into the site at this point?

    Thanks!
