New country code

You're looking to create a new country code!

To create a new country code, you'll need to follow these steps:

  1. Check if the code is already in use: Before creating a new country code, check if the code you have in mind is already in use by another country or organization. You can do this by searching the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) website, which maintains a list of country codes.
  2. Choose a unique code: If the code is not already in use, choose a unique code that is not already assigned to another country or organization. The code should be easy to remember and not easily confused with other codes.
  3. Submit a request to the ISO: Once you have chosen a unique code, submit a request to the ISO to assign the code to your new country or organization. You'll need to provide documentation and information about your country or organization, including its name, location, and purpose.
  4. Get approval from the ISO: The ISO will review your request and, if approved, assign the code to your country or organization. This may take several months or even years, depending on the complexity of the request and the workload of the ISO.
  5. Implement the code: Once the code is assigned, you'll need to implement it in your country or organization. This may involve updating your website, social media, and other online platforms to reflect the new code.

Here are some examples of new country codes that have been assigned in recent years:

.ax (Åland Islands, a region of Finland) .cat (Catalonia, a region of Spain) .ki (Kiribati, a country in the Pacific Ocean) .tl (Timor-Leste, a country in Southeast Asia)

Remember that creating a new country code is a complex process that requires careful planning and coordination. It's essential to follow the guidelines and procedures set by the ISO to ensure that your new code is assigned correctly and used effectively.
