Sorry, but you dont understand what
is eing asked.  Each of the plates 
has a two letter code and a number;
the plates themselves are red, white 
and blue and are issued by the state
department (they are not DC tags or Maryland
or Virginia, for example).  The letter 
code *is* different for each nation,
and FC *is* the code for the soviets
(or whatever has replaced them).

These are different plates than those
issued by the state department for DC
based vehicles.  In NY and in other 
cities that have foreign diplomats, 
the car licenses are taken care of by 
the locals, not the feds.
