Practical answer: having to support one more country flag, one more ISO country code and maybe one more english flavour locale or a currency :).

Aside: How do you guys get your hands on all the ISO bits and pieces[0]? I have 4217 but others seem to be ≈$300 each. I don't want to whinge but it makes it hard to bootstrap a startup when things like this require payment, especially if you want a solid database from the beginning.

[0] ISO{3166,4217,639}

Perhaps a new TLD too?
We already have that :) http://dotscot.net/
