 +======Synopsis:======
 +[[load]] country
 +
 +======Description:======
 +This script is used for converting between a country's (official) name
 +and its ISO country code.  It can convert in either direction, and can
 +convert to a country name based on an email address.  Everything is
 +done through a single alias, /country.  The basic syntax is:
 +
 +  /country [<switch>] <nickname|country|isometric>
 +
 +The default behavior is for the script to try to guess what type of
 +input it has been given.  The default is a nickname.  If it cannot find
 +anyone on irc with that nickname, it checks the length of the input.
 +If it is longer than 3 (three) characters, a country name is assumed.
 +If all else fails, it tries an isometric code.  Several switches are
 +available to force the client to do a particular type of lookup
 +(instead of guessing).
 +
 +^  Flag  ^  Purpose                                                       ^
 +|  -c    |assume input is definitely a country name                       |
 +|  -f    |skips userhost lookup used in nickname searches                 |
 +|  -i    |assume input is definitely an ISO code                          |
 +|  -n    |ignored (historical feature)                                    |
 +
 +For convenience, 2 additional aliases are provided; /lcountry is the
 +same as /country -c, and /lcode is the same as /country -i.
 +
 +======Other Notes:======
 +This script was originally written by Daniel Cedras (TG).  It has been
 +largely rewritten by Jeremy Nelson (hop), [[jnelson@acronet.net]], to take
 +advantage of EPIC's features.
