'''Natural Area Code''', also called '''Universal Address''', is a geocode generated by the Natural Area Coding System - a public domain geocode system for identifying an area (also a location when the area is relatively small enough) anywhere on the [[Earth]], or a volume of space anywhere around and inside the Earth.  The use of thirty alphanumeric characters instead of only ten digits makes a NAC shorter than its numerical [[latitude]]/[[longitude]] equivalent.
