Address format

Hungarian domestic mail puts the town first, then the street, then the postcode on its own line.

Test data for Hungary

There is no widely reserved fictional phone range here, so the generator leaves phone numbers out. Generated addresses use real towns and postcode areas with invented streets and names, so they are safe for form testing, mockups and documentation.
