Wow. Insanely hard, must have taken a LOT of work to make this - especially with it being unique combinations AND complete sets (e.g. the answer to A, STAN not also being the answer to S, AN). Adding as a favourite so I can come back to it later and try and beat my score. Possibly needs a couple more minutes? Not sure. Vote me up/down or something if you think so too.

Thanks! Added a couple of minutes for good measure. I found a lot of interesting stuff doing this: the only pairs with identical patterns, for example, are Germany/Switzerland, Argentina/Denmark, and Angola/Albania. All of these are, as far as I know, the largest number of letters possible with the given pair, but many have different possibilities (L, NI could also be I, NI.) I went through all the countries but these are the only ones that either share more than three letters or share three letters that aren't completely separate (I left out S, T, I and others like that.)
