=== Usage ===
This template takes a country code or abbreviation as input and outputs a wikilink to the country with the code or abbreviation as the link's text. It supports the typical video game-related abbreviations, '''NA''', '''JP''', '''EU''', '''EUR''', '''AU''', '''AUS''', '''PAL''' and '''INT''', as well as all [[ISO 3166-1 alpha-3]] codes and a smaller number of selected [[ISO 3166-1 alpha-2]] codes.

The template automatically converts the input to upper case.

Note that [[WP:VG/DATE]] asserts several guidelines/rules about where and when (and which) abbreviations may be used in video game infoboxes, specifically:

<blockquote>''"Release dates should be provided from primarily English-speaking regions, including North America, Europe, and Australia/New Zealand. If the video game is first released in a non-English country, commonly in Japan, then that should also be stated ... Releases in non-English countries should not be included in the infobox (unless it is first released in a non-English country), but if determined to be necessary to include, can be discussed further in the article's body."''</blockquote>
