"GB" is the ISO country code for the country, whereas "UK" is the Internet
topdomain. So I guess they need to be duplicated.
Regarding the Swedish translation, "Storbritannien" (=Great Britain) is the
most commonly used word, and if I were to use the translation for UK
("Förenade kungadömet"), that I find in official EU documents, nobody would
know what country I refer to. (But then again, not many people directly
understand that I reference the USA when writing "Förenta staterna"
either...)
