Missing list for CURRENT "Metropolitan region" in France (since 1 January 2016). Their provisional names (that existed in the first 6 months) were changed for some of them and finalized since mid2016, and integrated in ISO3166-2:
All other "Metropolitan region" (up to end of 2015, with codes "FR-A" to "FR-V") should be given type "Former metropolitan region" (they are still part of ISO 3166-2:2013).
6 of the new regions are the same as the older regions because not all of them merged in 2016:
"FR-BRE" = "FR-E" (Bretagne),
"FR-CVL" = "FR-F" (whose name already changed from "Centre" to "Centre-Val de Loire" earlier on 1 January 2015, one year before the 2016 mergers of other regions),
"FR-COR" = "FR-H" (Corse),
"FR-IDF" = "FR-J" (Île-de-France),
"FR-PDL" = "FR-R" (Pays de la Loire),
"FR-PAC" = "FR-U" (Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur).
The 7 other new metropolitan regions are the result of mergers since 2016:
Final note: "FR-NC" (Nouvelle-Calédonie) is NOT an "Overseas collectivity" (collectivité d'outre-mer in French) and not an "Overseas territory" or "dependency", but a sui generis "overseas territorial collectivity" (with very specific transitory status in the French Constitution and a large governmental autonomy and its own Neocaledonian citizenship in addition to the French citizenship, and two coexisting public domains, two coexisting personal status for people, two coexisting judiciary systems for civil laws ; in 2018, there will be an autodetermination referendum for either a possible change of status to remain in the French Republic, or for the independance).
