Where 3166 fits
Why 3166 is special
GB, DE, JP and the rest come from this standard, and so do most country-code internet domains — though not all, since .uk was assigned before the standard settled on GB. Codes are also formally retired, which is how .su and .yu became historical curiosities.

In historical numeral systems
Egyptian
3 lotuses, 1 coil of rope, 6 hobbles, 6 strokes
3 × 1,000 + 1 × 100 + 6 × 10 + 6 × 1 = 3,166. The signs are simply repeated and added; where they sit on the line is a matter of layout, not value.
Babylonian
5 corner wedges + 2 vertical wedges (sixties place), 4 corner wedges + 6 vertical wedges (units place)
52 × 60 + 46 = 3166. Places are separated by a space on the tablet, with the higher place written first.
Systems that simply cannot reach this value are left out. Where a script needs a font most readers do not have, the reading is given instead of the glyphs — see number systems for each system in full.

Geography
ISO 3166 defines the two-letter country codes behind GB, DE, JP and most country internet domains. Not all: .uk predates the standard settling on GB. Codes are also retired, which is how .su and .yu became relics of states that no longer exist.
