Is any country using ICAP Ethereum address implementation?

From "Mastering Ethereum" book by Andreas Antonopoulos:

Inter Exchange Client Address Protocol

The Inter exchange Client Address Protocol (ICAP) is an Ethereum address encoding that is partly compatible with the International Bank Account Number (IBAN) encoding, offering a versatile, checksummed, and interoperable encoding for Ethereum addresses. ICAP addresses can encode Ethereum addresses or common names registered with an Ethereum name registry. You can read more about ICAP on the Ethereum Wiki.

IBAN is an international standard for identifying bank account numbers, mostly used for wire transfers. It is broadly adopted in the European Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA) and beyond. IBAN is a centralized and heavily regulated service. ICAP is a decentralized but compatible implementation for Ethereum addresses.

An IBAN consists of a string of up to 34 alphanumeric characters (case-insensitive) comprising a country code, checksum, and bank account identifier (which is country-specific).

ICAP uses the same structure by introducing a nonstandard country code, “XE,” that stands for "Ethereum,” followed by a two-character checksum and three possible variations of an account identifier

Does anyone know if is any country using ICAP Ethereum address implementation?
