ISO 3166-1 1 'ISO 3166-1' is part of the ISO 3166 standardization|standard published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), and defines codes for the names of country|countries, dependent territory|dependent territories, and special areas of geographical interest. The official name of the standard is Codes for the representation of names of countries and their subdivisions ndash; Part 1: Country codes. It defines three sets of country codes: https://store.theartofservice.com/the-iso-3166-1-toolkit.html
4
ISO 3166-1 1 * ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 – two-letter country codes which are the most widely used of the three, and used most prominently for the Internet's country code top-level domains (with a few exceptions). https://store.theartofservice.com/the-iso-3166-1-toolkit.html
5
ISO 3166-1 1 * ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 – three-letter country codes which allow a better visual association between the codes and the country names than the alpha-2 codes. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-iso-3166-1-toolkit.html
6
ISO 3166-1 1 * ISO 3166-1 numeric – three-digit country codes which are identical to those developed and maintained by the United Nations Statistics Division, with the advantage of script (writing system) independence, and hence useful for people or systems using non-Latin alphabet|Latin scripts. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-iso-3166-1-toolkit.html
7
ISO 3166-1 1 The alphabetic country codes were first included in ISO 3166 in 1974, and the numeric country codes were first included in 1981. The country codes have been published as ISO 3166-1 since 1997, when ISO 3166 was expanded into three parts to include codes for subdivisions and former countries. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-iso-3166-1-toolkit.html
8
ISO 3166-1 1 As a widely used international standard, ISO 3166-1 is implemented in other standards and used by international organizations, to allow facilitation of the exchange of goods and information. However, it is not the only standard for country codes. Country code#Other country codes|Other country codes used by many international organizations are partly or totally incompatible with ISO 3166-1, although some of them closely correspond to ISO 3166-1 codes. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-iso-3166-1-toolkit.html
9
ISO 3166-1 - Criteria for inclusion 1 Currently 249 countries, territories, or areas of geographical interest are assigned official codes in ISO 3166-1. According to the ISO 3166 Maintenance Agency (ISO 3166/MA), the only way to enter a new country name into ISO 3166-1 is to have it registered in one of the following two sources: https://store.theartofservice.com/the-iso-3166-1-toolkit.html
10
ISO 3166-1 - Criteria for inclusion 1 Once a country name or territory name appears in either of these two sources, it will be added to ISO 3166-1 by default. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-iso-3166-1-toolkit.html
11
ISO 3166-1 - Criteria for inclusion 1 The ISO 3166/MA may #Reserved and user- assigned code elements|reserve code elements for other entities that do not qualify for inclusion based on the above criteria. For example, because the European Union is not a country, it is not formally included in ISO 3166-1, but for practical reasons, the ISO 3166/MA has reserved the two-letter combination EU for the purpose of identifying the European Union within the framework of ISO 3166-1. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-iso-3166-1-toolkit.html
12
ISO 3166-1 - Naming and code construction 1 The country names used in ISO 3166-1 are taken from the two UN sources mentioned above. Some country names used by the UN, and accordingly by ISO, are subject to dispute: https://store.theartofservice.com/the-iso-3166-1-toolkit.html
13
ISO 3166-1 - Naming and code construction 1 *Following the United Nations General Assembly resolution 67/19|recognition of Palestine as a non-member UN state in 2012, the official designation used in ISO 3166-1 was changed from Palestinian territories|Palestinian Territory, Occupied to State of Palestine|Palestine, State of. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-iso-3166-1-toolkit.html
14
ISO 3166-1 - Information included 1 ISO 3166-1 is published officially in both English language|English and French language|French. Since the second edition of ISO 3166-1, the following columns are included for each entry: https://store.theartofservice.com/the-iso-3166-1-toolkit.html
15
ISO 3166-1 - Officially assigned code elements 1 The following is a complete ISO 3166-1 encoding list of the countries which are assigned official codes. It is listed in alphabetical order by the English short country name (upper/lower case) used by the ISO 3166/MA.– Note: The source actually shows only the Country Name element, in all upper-case. The table here has been upper/lower-cased per Wikipedia standards, but should closely resemble the upper/lower- case elements that are not freely available from the ISO. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-iso-3166-1-toolkit.html

25
Country code top-level domain - Unused ISO 3166-1 codes 1 Almost all current ISO 3166- 1 codes have been assigned and do exist in DNS. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-iso-3166-1-toolkit.html
26
Country code top-level domain - Unused ISO 3166-1 codes 1 The code.eh|eh, although eligible as ccTLD for Western Sahara, has never been assigned and does not exist in Domain Name System|DNS. Only one subdomain is still registered in.gb|gb (ISO 3166-1 for the United Kingdom) and no new registrations are being accepted for it. Sites in the United Kingdom generally use.uk|uk (see below). https://store.theartofservice.com/the-iso-3166-1-toolkit.html
27
Country code top-level domain - ASCII ccTLDs not in ISO 3166-1 1 Several ASCII ccTLDs are in use that are not ISO 3166-1 two-letter codes. Some of these codes were specified in older versions of the ISO list. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-iso-3166-1-toolkit.html
28
Country code top-level domain - ASCII ccTLDs not in ISO 3166-1 1 *.uk|uk (United Kingdom): The ISO 3166- 1 code for the United Kingdom is GB. However, the JANET network had already selected uk as a top-level identifier for its pre-existing JANET NRS|Name Registration Scheme, and this was incorporated into the DNS root..gb|gb was assigned with the intention of a transition, but this never occurred and the use of uk is now entrenched. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-iso-3166-1-toolkit.html
29
Country code top-level domain - ASCII ccTLDs not in ISO 3166-1 1 *.ac|ac (Ascension Island): This code is a vestige of Internet Assigned Numbers Authority|IANA's decision in 1996 to allow the use of codes reserved in the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 reserve list for use by the Universal Postal Union. The decision was later reversed, with Ascension Island now the sole outlier. (Three other ccTLDs,.gg|gg (Guernsey),.im|im (Isle of Man) and.je|je (Jersey) also fell under this category from 1996 until they received corresponding ISO 3166 codes in March 2006.) https://store.theartofservice.com/the-iso-3166-1-toolkit.html
30
Country code top-level domain - ASCII ccTLDs not in ISO 3166-1 1 *.eu|eu (European Union): On September 25, 2000, ICANN decided to allow the use of any two-letter code in the ISO 3166-1 reserve list that is reserved for all purposes https://store.theartofservice.com/the-iso-3166-1-toolkit.html
31
Country code top-level domain - ASCII ccTLDs not in ISO 3166-1 1 *.tp|tp (the previous ISO 3166-1 code for East Timor): Being phased out in favor of.tl|tl since 2005. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-iso-3166-1-toolkit.html

34
ISO 3166-1 numeric 1 'ISO 3166-1 numeric' (or 'numeric-3') codes are three-digit country codes defined in ISO 3166-1, part of the ISO 3166 standardization|standard published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), to represent country|countries, dependent territory|dependent territories, and special areas of geographical interest https://store.theartofservice.com/the-iso-3166-1-toolkit.html
35
ISO 3166-1 numeric 1 The ISO 3166-1 alphabetic codes (ISO 3166-1 alpha-2|alpha-2 and ISO 3166-1 alpha-3|alpha-3) use letters from the English alphabet and are suitable for languages based on the Latin alphabet https://store.theartofservice.com/the-iso-3166-1-toolkit.html

ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 - Uses and applications 1 The ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 codes are used in different environments and are also part of other standards. In some cases they are not perfectly implemented. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-iso-3166-1-toolkit.html
52
ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 - Imperfect implementations 1 Starting in 1985, ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 codes have been used in the Domain Name System as country code top-level domains (ccTLDs). The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority currently assigns the ccTLDs mostly following the alpha-2 codes, but with a few exceptions. For example, the United Kingdom, whose alpha-2 code is GB, uses.uk instead of.gb as its ccTLD, as UK is currently #Exceptional reservations|exceptionally reserved in ISO 3166-1 on the request of the United Kingdom. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-iso-3166-1-toolkit.html
53
ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 - Imperfect implementations 1 The World Intellectual Property Organization|WIPO coding standard ST.3 is based on ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 codes, but includes a number of additional codes for international intellectual property organizations, which are currently #Codes currently agreed not to use|reserved and not used at the present stage in ISO 3166- 1. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-iso-3166-1-toolkit.html

IETF language tag - ISO 3166-1 and UN M.49 1 Two-letter region subtags are based on codes assigned, or exceptionally reserved, in ISO 3166-1. If the ISO 3166 Maintenance Agency were to reassign a code that had previously been assigned to a different country, the existing BCP 47 subtag corresponding to that code would retain its meaning, and a new region subtag based on UN M.49 would be registered for the new country. UN M.49 is also the source for numeric region subtags for geographical regions, such as 005 for South America. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-iso-3166-1-toolkit.html
