Ok, you internet heads, I've got a question. You may have noticed my Neocounter below. Frankly, I get very excited every time a new country appears. I can't wait to see the new flag scroll up. Which will it be? Luxembourg? Paraguay? The more obscure the better. Preferably a member of the CPLP (Comunidade dos Países de Língua Portuguesa) countries, thanks. A really tiny one like São Tomé e Príncipe would do nicely.
So tonight, I saw the magic number had gone up one digit. I waited with baited breath, only to discover it was "Asia/Pacific Region". Huh?
My only thought: Is it a non-self-governing Pacific territory? Like Tokelau or something? Or could it be Norfolk Island? Or American Samoa? I'm assuming it would have to be somewhere without its own url country suffix.
Any thoughts folks?

Probably just an IP issued/managed by APNIC that cannot be country-determined.
Thanks Anon. Now I just need someone to explain your explanation!
No :) actually I get it. APNIC is the relevant net region. But I'm wondering, under what circumstances, and places, could a server not be country-determined?
Irian Jaya/West Papua.
Indonesia does come up separately under it own ISO, Fyodor - but I spose it could be separate for West Papua.
The Lesbian Socialist Republic of New Zealand?
Hmmm.
