I considered that premature optimization. ;)

That's fine with me. And easier.

From here on out, non-country pugs will have to have at least 3
characters in their abbreviation!

I'll handle the issue with BWPUG (ISO 3166-2 assigns BW to Botswana),
if/when it comes up.

I still like having the messy naming for the rest of the groups.
There's no one standard that's going to address regional, state,
province and municipality all at once.

I realize it makes it harder to find some of the specific groups, but
I think that issue be solved by some tagging and better organization
on the PUGs site.
