Overview
ISO 3166‑2:NC is the entry for New Caledonia in ISO 3166‑2, the part of the ISO 3166 standard that defines codes for the principal subdivisions (e.g., provinces, states) of countries listed in ISO 3166‑1. The entry is maintained by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).
Coding and status
- New Caledonia does not have any defined subdivision codes within its ISO 3166‑2 entry; consequently, the ISO 3166‑2:NC entry contains no subdivision identifiers.
- As an overseas territorial collectivity of France, New Caledonia is assigned the ISO 3166‑1 alpha‑2 country code NC.
- In the ISO 3166‑2 list for France, New Caledonia appears under the code FR‑NC, reflecting its status as a French overseas territory.
Relationship to ISO 3166‑1
The ISO 3166‑1 code NC uniquely identifies New Caledonia as a territory in the global country‑code registry. The ISO 3166‑2 entry for New Caledonia (NC) exists primarily for completeness and to indicate that no further subdivision codes are applicable, while the relevant subdivision code for administrative purposes is incorporated under France’s entry (FR‑NC).
