The ISO has specified two-letter ASCII codes for the world's countries. These are summarized in the ISO 3166 two-letter country-code standard, given below. As with the language codes, country codes are case-insensitive. You may notice that these are the codes used by the Internet domain name scheme for indicating the country domain of an Internet address. Absent from this list are the non-national names commonly used in domain naming schemes, such as ARPA (Old-style Arpanet--obsolete), COM (Commercial), EDU (Educational), GOV (Government), INT (International), MIL (U.S. Military), NATO (for NATO, soon to be obsolete), NET (Network) and ORG (Nonprofit organization). The use of these codes is discussed in Chapter 5 of The HTML Sourcebook, Third edition.
