Wow...this topic has drawn a lot of comments. So, here's another.
As far as Area Codes go, it's simply a three digit number that makes it numerically possible to keep telephone numbers at 7-digits no matter how large the population in an "area" grows.
Having traveled extensively around the globe for business and in the military I have to say that Americans do have a bias for borders which is largely caused by living inn a country that has very few. With few exceptions, there aren't any other countries where you can drive for three days and still not have crossed a national border. Try that in Europe and you'll have crossed countries nearing double digits. So, we're geographically biased against changes due to national borders. By the way, I typically write my phone number as "01.area code.prefix.number". It makes it usable by anyone around the world. "Notice the dots and no commas".
My page tells you where I live so an area code can't help that much. I don't give out my telephone number here because I don't want to be contacted by phone. I like to have semi-private messages wit my friends here. So far...that hasn't lead to giving my phone number to anyone or getting theirs.
If you want to discloses your Area Code then go for it and I'll simply ignore it. As for me, I'm not ready for that.

So, once again our resident 'short sighted amerikan' speaks his ignorance:
"With few exceptions, there aren't any other countries where you can drive for three days and still not have crossed a national border."
I guess Canada, Russia, China, India, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Australia aren't well known enough by our 'expert' here?

And our Canadian resident smart ass apparently doesn't comprehend the meaning of; "With few exceptions". So, I'll go ahead and brake down the numbers. According to the web site 'About Education', as of 2016 there are 196 countries generally recognized. Here's the math...10/196 = 5.10%. So, 5% is a fairly accurate description of the phrase 'a few exceptions'. As for shortsighted...if that's what you wish to believe then be my guest. At least I'm able to check my sources and prove my point. All you've proven is that you like to take offense to others comments and you don't have much to say that's relevant. But...keep it up. I enjoy these moments of frivolity in communications between the colonists.

Yes, in your 'scoring system', both Vanuatu and Russia, for example, would each get 1/196 'points'. But since your topic is about driving for 3 days without crossing a national border, I think that 'land area' is a far more relevant measure. The nine countries that I've mentioned above comprise about 38% of the Earth's land area, a much more useful number IMHO, and hardly a "few exceptions".

Opinion vary. Yours has good thinking behind it so we'll agree to have different opinions...
