A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Country-wide LAN

That is, by definition, a WAN.

Maybe a CAN?
Country Area Network :p

I've heard a couple of folks trying to get traction on NAN (National Area Network) or NWN (Nation Wide Network), but so far no luck.

This abbreviation is already used. Controller Area Network

Now I wonder if the network of Vatican City is considered a WAN. Because there are likely companies with LANs larger than that.

This document suggests that some of our home labs might be bigger than Vatican City's telecom network. (note: attempt at humor)

I've found a couple of articles ostensibly about Vatican City's telecom network, but they appear to be information-free AI clickbait articles.
