List of Country Abbreviations

Last week I traveled from IN to GR... Got it? Well, here is a list of country abbreviations. Go through this Buzzle article and you might figure out what I am talking about here!

Abbreviations are a shortened form of a word or a phrase. They are now a part of our daily life because we use short forms to express many things on a daily basis. Now that everybody is adopting the SMS lingo, short forms are always used to make our life easier. However, I was no whiz-kid at remembering abbreviations of countries or any other abbreviation for that matter. But it sure goes without saying that these country abbreviations are useful in many spheres of life, especially while giving addresses. So scan through the table given below to know the abbreviations of different countries.
