data - Seeking full list of ISO ALPHA-2 and ISO ALPHA-3 country codes?


I'm searching for a full list of countries with their country codes.


Like on this page (need full and valid):


http://www.nationsonline.org/oneworld/country_code_list.htm



Answer



The ISO 3166-1 official site is probably the most updated source for the two-letter codes. Unfortunately, they don't have the alpha-3 online, quoting their site:



Where can I find the ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 country code for free download on the ISO 3166/MA Website?


Nowhere. The alpha-3 code is not made available free of charge. You can buy the International Standard ISO 3166-1 from our ISO Store. It contains the three-letter code.




A bit strange in the internet era, but luckily, there is a Wikipedia article with the full list and a UN official document that covers the subject, with country codes.


Update:


There's a list at the CIA site with FIPS 10, ISO 3166 Alpha2, ISO 3166 Alpha3, STANAG and Internet TLD (e.g, .il or .uk).


Link summary:



Note that these list contain non-country entities like Antartica.
