Overview

This repository consists of three parts. For a detailed description, see http://www.iso.org/iso/country_codes_glossary.html

Country Codes (ISO 3166-1 & ISO 3166-3)

Current

1. ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 - a two-letter code that represents a country name, recommended as the general purpose code
2. ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 - a three-letter code that represents a country name, which is usually more closely related to the country name
3. ISO 3166-1 numeric - a numeric code that represents a country name, independent of any type of script (Latin, Arabic, etc.)
4. ISO 3166-3 alpha-4 - a four-letter code that represents a country name that is no longer in use

Reserved

Reserved codes have been reserved for a certain use and do not represent a country name in the standard.
