The material on current and historical countries and areas of interest is presented here to help users who compile longitudinal data on countries and areas of interest to assign those data to the right current or formerly used country names and codes. A start and end date are provided to define the period of validity of country names and codes; however, there is no end date when the country names or codes are still current. This list, which compiles changes to country names and codes since 1970, is based on information gathered from the following sources:
- current and previous editions of the standard ISO 3166-1, Codes for the representation of names of countries and their subdivisions – Part 1: Country codes;
- ISO 3166-3 Codes for the representation of names of countries and their subdivisions – Part 3: Code for formerly used names of countries;
- Newsletters related to ISO 3166-1 and ISO 3166-3; and
- current and previous editions of the United Nations Standard Country or Area Codes for Statistical Use.
