There are a lot more: SOU for South Korea & South Africa; NOR for Norway & North Korea; NIG for Niger & Nigeria; AUS for Austria & Australia; SAI for Saint Lucia, Saint Kitts and Nevis & Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, etc.

@BigThing I did specify in the explanation 'countries which share the first three letters of their names with two or more other countries'. I will add the SAI ones as I admit I had been thinking of them as St Lucia etc.

My bad, I misread the 'share' part. In that case though, I'd cut the time by 2 or even 3 minutes.
