rot13("ne") = "ar" (Niger <-> Argentina)
rot13("nf") = "as" (Norfolk Island <-> American Samoa)
rot13("ng") = "at" (Nigeria <-> Austria)
rot13("om") = "bz" (Oman <-> Belize)
rot13("pt") = "cg" (Portugal <-> Congo)
rot13("py") = "cl" (Paraguay <-> Chile)

rot13("tn") = "ga" (Tunisia <-> Gabon)
rot13("to") = "gb" (Tonga <-> Great Britain)
rot13("tr") = "ge" (Turkey <-> Georgia)
rot13("tv") = "gi" (Tuvalu <-> Gibraltar)
rot13("tz") = "gm" (Tanzania <-> Gambia)
rot13("tc") = "gp" (Turks and Caicos Islands <-> Guadeloupe)

rot13("ye") = "lr" (Yemen <-> Liberia)
rot13("za") = "mn" (South Africa <-> Mongolia)
rot13("zm") = "mz" (Zambia <-> Mozambique)

In other words, country suffixes are also top-level domains...
