Synopsis: Full list of ISO 3166 alpha 2, alpha 3, numeric, and international calling country codes, or country abbreviations, that represent world countries and dependent areas. ISO 3166 is the International Standard for country codes and codes for their sub-divisions.
Introduction
Country codes are short alphabetic or numeric geographical codes (geocodes) developed to represent countries and dependent areas, for use in data processing and communications. Currently 249 countries, territories, or areas of geographical interest are assigned official codes in ISO 3166-1.
Main Item
ISO 3166 is the International Standard for country codes and codes for their sub-divisions. The official name of the standard is "Codes for the representation of names of countries and their subdivisions - Part 1: Country codes".
The 3 types of country codes listed below are defined in ISO 3166-1, part of the ISO 3166 standard published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), to represent countries, dependent territories, and special areas of geographical interest.
- ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 codes are two-letter country codes.
- ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 codes are three-letter country codes. They allow a better visual association between the codes and the country names than the two-letter alpha-2 codes.
- ISO 3166-1 numeric (or numeric-3) codes are 3 digit country codes, similar to the three-digit country codes developed and maintained by the United Nations Statistics Division, from which they originate in its UN M.49 standard.
List now includes international dialing codes for making an overseas phone call or calling another country.
