ISO Codes
From IBWiki

Presumably, the ISO Codeset consists of two and three letter combinations, usually based on some kind of abbreviation of the country or organisation involved.
- NOTA BENE: The "real" ISO might have a problem our use of "ISO". Perhaps before this gets out of hand, IB's "ISO" should be changed to "OIS" or "IOS" (International Organisation of Standards) sort of thing.
These lists of ISO Codes for IB countries are quite old (19/20.06.2003, msg#10968, 10998) and is probably in need of update and or refurbishment. Kindly check your areas of interest and amend as needed! ISO Codes are intended for _national_ entities, more than they are for provinces and ridings.
QUESTION: What exactly are the ISO codes used for, apart from top-level domains for our non-existent internet? What makes them so important that would warrant a 100 message stampede on this list? (Christian Thalmann)
ANSWER: Well, for our purposes they serve as an index for the flags.
Within Ill Bethisad itself, they have many purposes: they are used on international post, by agreement between ISO and UPU, the Union Postale Universelle; they are entered on passports, by informal international agreement; they appear on vehicular license plates. (*Our* benighted civilization uses three different codesets for these three purposes.) In international currency trading, the standard label for each currency is its ISO country code plus a letter or symbol signifying the currency, typically the initial of its local name. (John Cowan, msg#11212)
Not to mention that the many often nearly identical currencies can be segregated by the ISO code found in the "check block" on a banknote (a small series of numbers used for internal QC). This is particularly useful in the FK, whose notes are identical regardless of which member state has issued them; and in the NAL. (Padraic Brown, msg#11226)

BH Bahia
- BH China (Beihanguo)
Free is BI for wither BahIa or BeIganguo. Or maybe RB for Republica da Bahia.
BW Brunsweig
- BW Bahawalpur
Probably BP for Bahawalpur?
CS CSDS*
- CS Circars
As a current entity, I would give Circars preference. CSDS might take CD.
HY Armenia
- HY Hyderabad
Probably HD for Hyderabad...
SH Shetland
- SH Shanghai
As Shetland is not souvereign, Shanghai should have precedence. [Agreed -- Shetland is a county of Scotland. Elemtilas 07:47, 6 Jun 2005 (PDT)] I am not sure however the better solution for Shetland. SG is one of
the few free S* combinations. [As a subnational entity, I don't think it needs one. Elemtilas]
SI Saugeais
- SI Sind
Where is Saugerais? [Somewhere in France. Elemtilas]
SN is free too, probably for Sind.
SJ Sanjak
- SJ Samraj
SK Serb Kozara*
SX Saxony (DE)
- SX Spratley Islands
SY Syria
- SY Srivijaya
SZ Slavonic Union*
How about ST for Spratley Islands?
Another posibility, make South Afrika ZA and move Saxony to SA
Or move some of this entities to RS (some Republic)
