> But as stated by others (about Ireland in their example), even companies that had their hq there asked for zip code at a time there was not any.

Post codes are not generally used in Ireland. The launch was not really successful and even An Post (the government-run postal service) doesn't use them.

Irish counties are fun, as the traditional 26 counties (in the Republic) don't align with the thirty-something administrative counties that now exist.

Do people on Ireland use townlands on the ground? They could be a more human kind of postal sector. See Townlands.ie
