ISO 3166-1 numeric

Template:Short description ISO 3166-1 numeric (or numeric-3) codes are three-digit country codes 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. They are 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. They were first included as part of the ISO 3166 standard in its second edition in 1981, but they were released by the United Nations Statistics Division since as early as 1970.[1]

An advantage of numeric codes over alphabetic codes is script (writing system) independence.[2] The ISO 3166-1 alphabetic codes (alpha-2 and alpha-3) use letters from the 26-letter English alphabet and are suitable for languages based on the Latin alphabet. For people and systems using non-Latin scripts (such as Arabic or Japanese), the English alphabet may be unavailable or difficult to use, understand, or correctly interpret. While numeric codes overcome the problems of script dependence, this independence comes at the cost of loss of mnemonic convenience.

Another advantage is that when countries merge or split, they will get a new numeric code, while the alphabetic code stays in use for (a part of) that country. A persistent number is needed in datasets with historical country information.

User-assigned code elements

User-assigned code elements are codes at the disposal of users who need to add further names of countries, territories, or other geographical entities to their in-house application of ISO 3166-1. The ISO 3166/MA will never use these codes in the updating process of the standard. The numeric codes Template:Mono to Template:Mono can be user-assigned.[4]

Examples include Template:Mono for Kosovo and Template:Mono for Cyprus used by Dun & Bradstreet.[5]

Withdrawn codes

When countries merge, split, or undergo territorial change, their numeric codes are withdrawn and new numeric codes are assigned. For example:

If a country changes its name without any territorial change, its numeric code remains the same. For example, when Burma was renamed Myanmar without territorial change in 1989, its alphabetic codes were changed, but its numeric code Template:Mono has remained the same.

The following numeric codes have been withdrawn from ISO 3166-1:[7]

Code Country name Notes
Template:Mono Canton and Enderbury Islands
Template:Mono Czechoslovakia
Template:Mono Dronning Maud Land
Template:Mono Ethiopia before Eritrea split away in 1993
Template:Mono France, Metropolitan
Template:Mono German Democratic Republic i.e., East Germany
Template:Mono Germany, Federal Republic of i.e., West Germany
Template:Mono Johnston Island
Template:Mono Midway Islands
Template:Mono Netherlands Antilles after Aruba split away in 1986
Template:Mono Netherlands Antilles before Aruba split away in 1986Template:Efn
Template:Mono Neutral Zone
Template:Mono Pacific Islands (Trust Territory)
Template:Mono Panama before adding Panama Canal Zone in 1979Template:Efn
Template:Mono Saint Kitts-Nevis-Anguilla
Template:Mono Yemen, Democratic i.e., South Yemen
Template:Mono Sudan before South Sudan split away in 2011
Template:Mono USSR
Template:Mono United States Miscellaneous Pacific Islands
Template:Mono Wake Island
Template:Mono Yemen Arab Republic i.e., North Yemen
Template:Mono Yugoslavia, Socialist Federal Republic of
Template:Mono Serbia and Montenegro original name: Yugoslavia, Federal Republic of

The following numeric codes were also assigned by the United Nations Statistics Division, but these territories were never officially included in ISO 3166-1:[1]

Code Territory name
Template:Mono Gaza Strip (Palestine)
Template:Mono German Democratic Republic, Berlin
Template:Mono Germany, West Berlin
Template:Mono Ryukyu Islands
Template:Mono Spanish North Africa (note: this code is now used by South Sudan)
Template:Mono Channel Islands

In the UN M.49 standard developed by the United Nations Statistics Division, additional numeric codes are used to represent geographical regions and groupings of countries and areas for statistical processing purposes, but these codes are not included in ISO 3166-1. Unlike alphabetic codes, there are no reserved numeric codes in ISO 3166-1.
