      1. Define urls for use in CodeSystem.url for ISO 3166 part 1 and part 2 using the ISO urn syntax at the part level.

      2. Publish examples of the above CodeSystem resources in registry.fhir.org.

      3. Need to update the urls in the current ValueSet resources for ISO 3166.

      Right now we have a URI for 3166 that claims it's a code system of country codes. However, 3166 has two non-overlapping parts - 3166-1 which is country codes and 3166-2 which covers province, territory, state and similar codes. Because 3166-2 makes use of 3166-1 and because they don't overlap, it makes sense to treat 3166 as a single code system. However, the description needs to be updated to make clear that it covers both countries and sub-regions.
