The problem is understanding what 'gbr' is and why you would want
to delete it. Great Britain, because that is the country the code
is running in? Alternatively, the problem is caused by a 
difficult branching.

      my $country = $card->country;
      $country = uc "[$country]" if $country;
      $country = '' if $country eq '[GBR]';
