There's no Slovakia! Where is it?

Are the Water Bodies digrams and trigrams mixed up? Shouldn't digrams have two characters and trigrams have three characters? Ayeupmeduck (talk) 09:05, 22 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I agree; the two seem mixed up. — Stimpy_talk 21:49, 15 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sudan and South Sudan[edit]

If it is true that the ninth edition's ratification draft (published on July 6, 2005) replaces all two- and four-letter codes with ISO or ISO-like three- and six-letter codes then I think some entries in the list should be adopted according to ISO 3166-1 which says:

Sudan - digram SD - trigram SDN
South Sudan - digram SS - trigram SSD according to
...

I found a good overview list at www.laenderdaten.info/laendercodes.php

Does anybody here found a link to an official NATO website with a valid digram/trigram list according to STANAG 1059 ninth edition's ratification draft ?

By the way: FIPS 10-4 was withdrawn by the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) on September 2, 2008, in favor of using the ISO 3166-1. --StefanMeister (talk) 02:19, 30 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

10th edition?[edit]

Has there been any update since 2005? ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 codes have seen some changes. Could someone alsso check the current codes for Macedonia FYR/MKD, Mali MAL/MLI and Tanzania TZA/TNZ? — Christoph Päper 17:22, 6 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
