Practical guide

How to use this generator

Use the area-type filter to include territories and other ISO areas when the task calls for them.

Ways to use it

  • Ask a group to identify a drawn area’s capital or neighbors.
  • Compare the meaning of a sovereign country and an ISO-coded territory.

What the collection contains

The full source has 249 ISO 3166-1 entries. The default country set is 195 UN members and observers; other coded areas are an optional scope.

Limits to keep in mind

ISO coding is a data convention and does not settle sovereignty or political recognition.
