Marc Location Codes (tag 008--see example below) --from www.loc.gov:
(Three-character codes are assigned to states of the United States, provinces and territories of
Canada and divisions of the United Kingdom . In this case, the first two characters represent the
constituent part, and the third character represents the country, e.g. nyu for New York. Three character
codes are also used for the United States (xxu), Canada (xxc), and the United Kingdom
(xxk) when the state, province or territory, or division is not known, but the country is known, or
when it is not desired to code at the lower level. In this case, the first two characters (xx) represent
"unknown or undetermined," and the third character represents the country.)
