What is ISO 3166?
'''ISO 3166''' is a [[standardization|standard]] made by the [[International Organization for Standardization]] (ISO) and it uses short [[code]]s to name all countries and some other places. People from all over the world can use the same codes; this is helpful because different languages have different names for many countries. For example, the country [[English language|English]]-speakers call ''[[Spain]]'' is called ''España'' by [[Spanish language|Spanish]]-speakers. The ISO 3166 has three codes for Spain: ES, ESP, and 724. No other country has any of these codes. == Related pages == *[[Country code]] *[[ISO 3166-1]] {{stub}} [[Category:ISO 3166| ]]
