The same happens with the Angola ISO 3166 country code:
Angola [AO] --> Austria [AT]

Just a quick note:
ČR (Česká republika) is the Czech (short) name of Czech Republic.
Áo is the Vietnamese name of Austria.

This is impacting our product. We pay a lot of money for Google Maps. Please fix - this doesn't seem like rocket science. Either a string is an ISO-3166 code for a country, as the spec requests, or it is not.
