- Technology & computing
A356 is a cast aluminium-silicon-magnesium alloy with good fluidity and pressure tightness, used for wheels, cylinder heads and structural castings.
- Geography
+356 reaches Malta, which has no internal area codes — every number is dialled the same way from anywhere in the country. That is feasible only for a state small enough not to need geographic routing.
