some alpha3 values not 3 characters in length

[missinglink]

in some files (such as localities) the 3 digit qs_adm0_a3 property can be 2 characters in length when it should be 3 characters in length according to the spec.

ref: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-3

eg:

{
  "type": "Feature",
  "properties": {
    "qs_a1_alt": null,
    "qs_a2r": null,
    "qs_level": "locality",
    "qs_gn_id": "4095233",
    "qs_iso_cc": "U",
    "qs_la_lc": "*",
    "qs_id": null,
    "qs_a1": "*Alabama",
    "qs_a0": "United States",
    "qs_a2": null,
    "qs_a2_alt": null,
    "qs_a2_lc": null,
    "qs_scale": null,
    "qs_pop": 0,
    "qs_a0_lc": null,
    "qs_a1r_lc": null,
    "qs_a2r_lc": null,
    "qs_loc_alt": "Valley Head town",
    "qs_adm0": "United States",
    "qs_adm0_a3": "US",
    "qs_source": "AUS Census",
    "qs_la": null,
    "qs_la_alt": null,
    "qs_a1_lc": "01",
    "qs_type": "G4110",
    "qs_a1r_alt": null,
    "qs_loc_lc": "0178240",
    "gs_gn_id": "4095233",
    "qs_loc": "Valley Head",
    "qs_a2r_alt": null,
    "qs_woe_id": null,
    "qs_a1r": "*"
  },

Agree US > USA is the right thing to do.

But please note the adm0 codes in quatroshapes follow the Natural Earth
variant that is 99% the same as that you reference, but there are
differences.

thanks for the quick reply @nvkelso

I really don't mind which spec is used, the issue is that it is inconsistent across the files, in most (all?) of the other files it is USA except in localities where it is US

not a big deal; I can work around it, just a FYI
