Country codes in ISO 3166 Page last modified: 2003-07-25 Data last modified: 2003-07-25 This file lists the codes for each country provided in ISO 3166. There are two tables: existing codes and withdrawn codes (codes can be withdrawn because the country no longer exists, the name has significantly changed, or one or more codes has altered). Each country or territory has three codes: l l l
a two letter code a three letter code a three digit code
The numeric code identifies a physical territory, and the letters a country name. Thus when Germany reunified, it kept DE/DEU but changed from 280 to 276, while when Southern Rhodesia was renamed Zimbabwe it stayed 716 but changed from RH/RHO to ZW/ZWE. There is also a numeric version of the two letter code not given here, calculated as 1070+30a+b, where a and b are the two letters of the code converted by A=1, B=2, etc. So AA=1101, AB=1102, BA=1131, and ZZ=1876. Changes to ISO 3166 are managed by the ISO 3166 Maintenance Agency (ISO3166/MA). Codes withdrawn from use may not be reused for five years. The two letter codes AA, QM to QZ, XA to XZ, and ZZ, all three letter codes beginning with those pairs, and numeric codes beginning 9, are available for individual use and will not be allocated to countries. The codes OO, OOO, and 000 are designated for use as "escape codes" to indicate that additional codes are being used. The term "country" is perhaps a little misleading: not all the "countries" in ISO 3166 are actually independent. Rather, many of them are geographically separate territories that are legally portions or dependencies of other countries. Nonetheless the term "country" is used throughout. Where the code for a country includes territory also included in another code, a code for the exclusive part can be formed by replacing the second and third letters by X. So Metropolitan France can be coded as FX/FXX, and this excludes areas such as French Guyana (GF/GUF) which are included in the code FR/FRA. ISO 3166 was first issued in 1974, and the three digit numbers were mostly added in 1981. This file is derived from the 1982 and 1988 versions of the standard, all change notifications since 1988, and a list of obsolete codes. The fourth column indicates the date of change of an entry using one of the following codes: b between 1982 and 1988 http://www.davros.org/misc/iso3166.html

Table 2: codes withdrawn from use. ISO 3166-3 has a four character code notation for withdrawn codes. The first two characters are the withdrawn code while the last two are the code that replaced it, the code of the country that absorbed the country whose code is withdrawn, or a special code - HH to indicate that there is no single successor code or AA to indicate that the two letter code has not changed. Where there is a four letter code in the current edition of ISO 3166-3, this is shown instead of the two letter code.
