Country codes are between one and three digits. Anything with the
country code +1 is part of the NANP (North American Numbering Plan) and
has three digits area codes. Australia has one digits area codes,
Holland has two digits. Every country decides for itself. Many
countries had varying length area codes but these are slowly being
standardized.
