That's not a format, it's a infinitesimally tiny sample. But if we
trust in this sample, you don't need a regex at all. The state and
country are in the last 7 characters of the string:
countr = text[-3:-1]
state = text[-7:-5]
I could be off by 1 or 2, but you get the idea.
if this isn't good enough, then either supply or give a reference to a
specification for how "code" is encoded.
(If it does indeed need a regex, someone else will have to help)
