FIPS 10 : Countries, Dependencies, Areas of Special Sovereignty, and Their Principal Administrative Divisions (FIPS 10) is maintained by the

Office of Targeting and Transnational Issues, National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, and published by the National Institute of Standards andTechnology (Department of Commerce). FIPS 10 codes are intended for general use throughout the US Government, especially in activities

associated with the mission of the Department of State and national defense programs.

ISO 3166 : Codes for the Representation of Names of Countries (ISO 3166) is prepared by the International Organization for Standardization. ISO

3166 includes two- and three-character alphabetic codes and three-digit numeric codes that may be needed for activities involving exchange of data

with international organizations that have adopted that standard. Except for the numeric codes, ISO 3166 codes have been adopted in the US as

FIPS 104-1: American National Standard Codes for the Representation of Names of Countries, Dependencies, and Areas of Special Sovereignty for

Information Interchange.

STANAG 1059 : Letter Codes for Geographical Entities (8th edition, 2004) is a Standardization Agreement (STANAG) established and

maintained by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO/OTAN) for the purpose of providing a common set of geo-spatial identifiers for countries,

territories, and possessions. The 8th edition established trigraph codes for each country based upon the ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 character sets. These

codes are used throughout NATO.

Internet : The Internet country code is the two-letter digraph maintained by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in the ISO

3166 Alpha-2 list and used by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) to establish country-coded top-level domains (ccTLDs).
