## Other responses

- `400`: The `countryCode` path segment is not exactly two letters (`INVALID_REQUEST`). A well-formed but unknown code returns `404` instead.
- `404`: Unknown country code (`NOT_FOUND`).
- `500`: An unexpected server error occurred. Returns the standard error envelope with code `INTERNAL_ERROR` and a `requestId` for support correlation. The failing request had no side effects the caller can rely on; retry is safe for idempotent operations.
