How about using postcodes???
OK, so there are several of them to a county, but it might help...
e.g. in Kent, we've got: ME for Medway; CA for Canterbury; TN for Tonbridge;
DA for Dartford; BR for Bromley...
OK, OK, it was just an idea - there would be far too many for separate
groups, but it's the nearest we've got in the UK to US state codes...

The abbreviations for counties might just be small enough if desired, i.e. Kent, Bucks, Middx, Oxon, Berks, etc. (...) (26 years ago, 7-Jan-99, to lugnet.loc.uk)
