Some country codes in World Zone 2 are not in Africa. Aruba (+297) is near the South American continent, but there are no spare codes available in World Zone 5. A free code from World Zone 2 seemed to be the next best choice.

Faroe Islands (+298) and Greenland (+299) are in the northern Atlantic, between North America and Europe. For many years, there were no available country code assignments in the traditional European zones (3 and 4).
