Appendix C
ISO 3166 Country Codes
See also: Language codes
The ISO has specified two-letter ASCII codes for the world's countries. These are summarized in the ISO 3166 two-letter country-code standard, given below. As with the language codes, country codes are case-insensitive. You may notice that these are the codes used, withinby the Internet domain name scheme, for indicating 'country-based' domains in an Internet address -- for example "ca" to indicate Canada in the address "www.utoronto.ca".
Absent from this list are the non-national names used in domain naming schemes: namely ARPA (Old-style Arpanet--obsolete), COM (Commercial), EDU (Educational), GOV (Government), INT (International), MIL (U.S. Military), NATO (for NATO, soon to be obsolete), NET (Network) and ORG (Nonprofit organization). The use of these codes is discussed in Appendix C The XHTML Language and Design Guide.
