They may also be used for technical reasons in actual reality for use in the development of specifications, such as the fictional country of ''Bookland'', which is used to allow European Article Number "country" codes 978 and 979 to be used for ISBNs assigned to books, and code 977 to be assigned for use for ISSN numbers on magazines and other periodicals.
