+======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.
