title: How to get "UK" from CultureInfo in C#
body: <p>Is it possible to get the value UK (or the equivalent value for another country) from C# CultureInfo object?  My example below shows I currently get "United Kingdon" using the following line of code.</p>
  
  <pre><code>var region = new RegionInfo(CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.LCID)
  </code></pre>

  <p>After receiving really great help I want to clarify my problem.  I need to provide the value "UK" based on the locale settings.  I currently have the following values</p>
  
  <pre><code>locale_country: "United Kingdom"  // This needs to be UK (or the equivalent for another country)
  locale_language: "en-GB"
  locale_region: "GB"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The code that generates this is illustrated below (C#)</p>
  
  <p><strong>Code snippet</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>var localRegion = new RegionInfo(CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.LCID);
  LocaleRegion = localRegion.TwoLetterISORegionName,
  LocaleCountry = localRegion.DisplayName
  </code></pre>
