ISO 3166-1 222771 224026395 2008-07-07T00:02:38Z Chanheigeorge 376297 rv; those are not official codes <onlyinclude> <!-- See [[Wikipedia talk:Featured lists]] for an explanation of this and other inclusion tags below --> '''ISO 3166-1''', as part of the [[ISO 3166]] [[standardization|standard]], provides codes for the names of [[country|countries]] and [[dependent territory|dependent territories]], and is published by the [[International Organization for Standardization]] (ISO). The official name of the standard is ''Codes for the representation of names of countries and their subdivisions – Part 1: Country codes''. It defines three sets of [[country code]]s:<ref>[http://www.iso.org/iso/country_codes/iso_3166-faqs/iso_3166_faqs_general.htm ISO 3166 FAQs – General questions]</ref> *[[ISO 3166-1 alpha-2]], a two-letter system, used in many applications, most prominently for [[country code top-level domain]]s (ccTLDs), with some exceptions. *[[ISO 3166-1 alpha-3]], a three-letter system, which allows a better visual association between country name and code element than the alpha-2 code. *[[ISO 3166-1 numeric]], a three-digit numerical system, with the advantage of script ([[writing system]]) independence, and hence useful for people or systems which uses a non-[[Latin alphabet|Latin]] script. This is identical to codes defined by the [[United Nations Statistics Division]].</onlyinclude> ISO 3166 has included alphabetical country codes since its first edition in 1974, and numeric country codes since its second edition in 1981. The country codes were first published as ISO 3166-1 in 1997 in the fifth edition of ISO 3166, when ISO 3166 were divided into three separate parts.<ref>[http://www.iso.org/iso/country_codes/background_on_iso_3166/development_of_iso_3166.htm Development of ISO 3166]</ref> ISO 3166-1 is not the only standard for country codes. Many international organizations use their own country codes, where some of them closely correspond to the ISO 3166-1 codes. For examples, see ''[[Country code#Other country codes|country codes]]''. ==Criteria for inclusion== Currently, 246 countries and territories 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:<ref>[http://www.iso.org/iso/country_codes/background_on_iso_3166/iso_3166-1_and_cctlds.htm ISO 3166-1 and ccTLDs] </ref> * [[United Nations]] Terminology Bulletin Country Names, or * [http://unstats.un.org/unsd/methods/m49/m49alpha.htm Country and Region Codes for Statistical Use] of the UN Statistics Division. To be listed in the bulletin ''Country Names'', a country or territory must be any of the following: * a [[United Nations member states|member country of the United Nations]], * a member of one of its [[United Nations System#Specialized Agencies|specialized agencies]], or * a party to the ''Statute of the [[International Court of Justice]]''. Once a country name or territory name appears in either of these two sources, it will be added to ISO 3166-1 by default. ==Information included== 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: #COUNTRY NAME English (or French) short name #English (or French) short name lower case #English (or French) full name #[[ISO 3166-1 alpha-2|Alpha-2 code]] #[[ISO 3166-1 alpha-3|Alpha-3 code]] #[[ISO 3166-1 numeric|Numeric code]] #Remarks #Independent (# denotes the country is independent) #Additional information (official language [[ISO 639-1|alpha-2 codes]]) #Additional information (official language [[ISO 639-2|alpha-3 codes]]) #Additional information (local name) ==Officially assigned code elements== The following is a complete ISO 3166-1 encoding code list in alphabetical order by the English short country names officially used by the ISO 3166/MA, which uses country names from United Nations sources.<ref>[http://www.iso.org/iso/country_codes/background_on_iso_3166/iso_3166_and_the_un.htm ISO 3166 and the UN]</ref> The table includes officially assigned codes only.

They are reserved to add flexibility to the coding system. Usually, obsolete codes may be kept as reserved, while some overseas territories, international organizations, and special nationality status have reserved codes of their own. See the corresponding sections in ''[[ISO 3166-1 alpha-2#Reserved code elements|ISO 3166-1 alpha-2]]'' and ''[[ISO 3166-1 alpha-3#Reserved code elements|ISO 3166-1 alpha-3]]'' for their respective reserved codes (ISO 3166-1 numeric does not have reserved codes). User-assigned code elements are codes at the disposal of users who need to add further names of countries, territories or other geographical entities to their in-house application of ISO 3166-1, and the ISO 3166/MA will never use them in the updating process of the standard. See the corresponding sections in ''[[ISO 3166-1 alpha-2#User-assigned code elements|ISO 3166-1 alpha-2]]'', ''[[ISO 3166-1 alpha-3#User-assigned code elements|ISO 3166-1 alpha-3]]'' and ''[[ISO 3166-1 numeric#User-assigned code elements|ISO 3166-1 numeric]]'' for their respective user-assigned codes. ==Changes== A country or territory may get new codes if it changes its name or its territorial boundaries. A country generally gets new alphabetical codes if its name changes, whereas a new numeric code is associated with a change of boundaries.
