Foreign vehicles should display an official triptyque country code, either on a sticker
or in a small area at the left-hand side of the registration plate / number plate / license plate,
but sometimes there are also unofficial ones, where people have jumped the gun on the official designation,
or indicate a geographical entity with a separate identity.
In addition to those below, there are ones for the standard two-letter abbreviations for the states of the USA,
and many more available from autoovals.com,
ovalstickers.net,
