Thanks so much man, I can usually dissect the answers from the code but for this exercise I couldn't figure anything out. This was extremely helpful!

Code works for the most part. However if you tried looking for Ireland, it does not work. The code I came up with will returns all country code

country_code = 'Not found'
results = js['results']
for i in results:
for k in i['address_components']:
if 'country' in k['types']:
country_code = k['short_name']
print('Country Code:', country_code)

Thank you for this help! One problem though: the Try/Except does not work for this. When entering "Atlantic Ocean" as the location, it returns "Country Code: Atlantic Ocean" instead of the "Country Code not found" message. Any suggestions?

May I ask which program do you use to execute the code ?
