Country Codes

The following table contains international codes used to identify different countries.  A description of each code is given below:

FIPS 10-4:

American National Standard Codes for the Representation of Names of Countries, Dependencies, and Areas of Special Sovereignty for Information Interchange.  FIPS 10-4 codes are two-character alphabetic codes used throughout the US Government, especially in activities associated with the the Department of State and national defense programmes.  The codes are maintained by the Office of the Geographer and Global Issues (Department of State) and are published by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (Department of Commerce). They are included in the CIA World Factbook in the Data code entry under 'Government'. 

ISO 3166:

International codes used to represent the names of countries.  They are prepared by the International Organization for Standardization. ISO 3166 includes two- and three-character alphabetic codes and three-digit numeric codes that can be used to exchange data between international organizations. Except for the numeric codes, ISO 3166 codes have been adopted in the US as FIPS 104-1. 

Internet codes: 

Two character codes used to identify countries on the internet. These codes generally agree with the ISO 3166 two-character alphabetic codes.
