To search for a country, find it below and double-click on the country name if it is in blue. If it is in black then the country is not in the list of Countries which we use. (If a code is in red, this signifies an error.)

A country-like name in italics - like Ascension Island - is not a country, being a former country, part of a country, unpopulated (no permanent resident community) or a statistical convenience.

Alternatively, you can type the country name into the search box - or type in the ISO country code from the list below.

Please ensure that you use Capital letters like AU - 2-letter sequences of the form capital/small (like Au) are reserved for other purposes (chemical symbols, in fact).

Country codes are defined by the international standard ISO 3166. These codes are also the ones used for URLs - top-level domains in the World Wide Web.

A completely up to date list of all codes (including some not for currently existing countries in our sense) can be found at http://www.iso.org/iso/english_country_names_and_code_elements
