I was lurking the Dink Network again, and I noticed a flag right below Zimbabwe called "cs". What is this? Is CS a country? If it is, why is it not capitalized and placed in it's alphabetical spot? I'm so confused!

"CS" is a special country code allocated by the ISO 3166
Maintenance Agency to countries destined to split up. If so, maybe
it stands for "Country Split"?

Like for example, USA decides to split up into two.

One part will be given the .us country code, and the other a .cs country code, till they come up with their own.

The CS code has been used for Czechoslovakia and also for Serbia and Montenegro.

Currently, it is not in use for any country.

Subsequent to the country name change of “Yugoslavia” to “Serbia and Montenegro”, that took effect on
February 4, 2003, and to the decision by the ISO 3166/MA to use the new country name and new two-letter code
“CS” (to replace “YU”), which was announced on July 23, 2003, the SCIT Standards and Documentation Working
Group agreed, at its fifth session, in November 11, 2004, to recommend that the two-letter code “YU” continue to
be used for “Serbia and Montenegro” in the industrial property field because code “CS” raised certain problems
due to its former use to represent “Czechoslovakia” until 1993.

So, whenever a country splits, it is given a CS code as a temporary option, to be replaced when the name is decided.

I found this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.cs. I think that code was only used in those two isolated cases because the letters CS related to the countries' names.

It's not hard to find. Don't act dumber than you are.

"COUNTER STRIKE. "

You may find it a good joke, a bad joke, a completely unnecessary one, even, but that's most definitely a joke. He tries lighting up the mood a bit, and then Godley decides it's necessary to start flaming him for it. The complete opposite effect, for who knows whatever reason.

Posting a reply that's sure to provoke the other person, then.

Also CS = a common abbreviation for Counter Strike. That was the joke. Kind of like CSS (Cascaded Style Sheets) is also Counter Strike Source.

Beside the joke and lame followup posts, it's pretty interesting to know what CS means as a country code.
