Meant to include list of standard county codes:

One solution to the multiple State QPs and same-named counties
problem is to use STANDARD CENSUS / ANSI COUNTY (numeric) codes.
Gives a little challenge to copy the codes correctly:

I live in MD 031 (MD Montgomery County)

Someone probably lives in AL 101 (AL Montgomery County)
and in GA 209 (GA Montgomery County)
and so on for the, I think, 16 Montgomery Counties around the US.
