Makes me happy I live in a nice, logical country =)
We've nothing so complex in Canada.  Our postal codes seem a lot simpler to
deal with (ie: V0R 2W0, T6H 0P2), with the first three characters
representing the region (Vancouver Island and South Edmonton in the
examples), and the last three, the code for the specific post office that
deals with the mail (Shawnigan Lake and Office #71 in the examples).
