iis security : Cannot generate CSR for Gibraltar region using IIS. Alternative CSR generating mechanisms?

HI

I am trying to generate a CSR for a server to be hosted in Gibraltar. If I
try to generate a certificate signing request using IIS5, I find that in the
field for specifying the Country/Area code there is no entry for Gibraltar
(GI). It is only possible to add a area code from this list.

I do not understand this omission from the list for Gibraltar. Does anyone
know the reason for this.

Also, is it possible to generate a valid CSR for IIS using some mechanism
other than the IIS CSR generating wizard?

Any feedback will be appreciated.

I have found that I can get around this problem by generating the request on
a WinXP machine and then exporting the resulting certificate for use on the
server. Funny little bug though.
