ISO COUNTRY CODES Below is a list of the codes of sovereign states produced by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). There has been widespread use of these ISO codes as TLDs (‘top level domains’) in Internet applications (used in lower case), managed by the Internet Assigned Numbers Association (IANA), to denote ‘national’ domains in addition to the common TLDs such as ‘.com’ and ‘.org’. There are some IANA codes used in preference to the above on the Internet (eg. ‘.uk’ rather than ‘.gb’).
