Fine-Print Countries are those where the
First Pair of letters of the country name gives the top-level internet domain name.
For the countries these are
Luxembourg - lu, Montserrat - ms
Brazil - br, Madagascar - mg
Philippines - ph, Malawi - mw
Syrian Arab Republic - sy, China - cn
Italy - it, Sudan - sd
Kiribati - ki, Tunisia - tn
Georgia - ge, Gambia - gm
Gibraltar - gi, Algeria - dz
France - fr, Burkina Faso - bf
Uzbekistan - uz, Isle of Man - im
Kenya - ke, US Virgin Islands - vi
Norway - no, Croatia - hr
Panama - pa, Wallis and Futuna - wf
Albania - al, Mayotte - yt
India - in, Bonaire - bq
Colombia - co, Saint Barthelemy - bl
List of TLDs
I was going for this, but yours works just as well (and is likely derived from my list, right?) I'll "tick" this answer in just a tick.
