Add 2-letter postal codes; make each state a link; correct spelling of Georgia
Line 1:
A two-digit Federal Information Processing Standard [[FIPS]] code (FIPS 5-2) uniquely identifies a state, territory, or commonwealth within or of the [[U.S.]]. These codes are used by the [[United States Census Bureau|U.S. Census Bureau]], and in the [[Emergency Alert System]], and were assigned by [[NIST]]. Additional numbers used with the EAS for [[territorial waters]] of the U.S. were assigned by the [[Federal Communications Commission|FCC]], but are not part of the FIPS standard. Two-''letter'' [[state codes]] were assigned as postal abbreviations by the [[USPS]].
