oodavid / iso-3166-2

A publicly available dataset containing the countries and administrative divisions as defined in ISO 3166-2. After much research into how to best structure the geospacial data for happiest I made the decision to use ISO 3166-2 as the foundation. This repo contains JSON data representing ISO 3166-2 with the countries and divisions reverse geocoded; designed primarily for import into MongoDB it will be useful to anyone with a need for geospacial data.

Greenland Missing? #1

Open jayosman opened 11 years ago

Searching for Greenland (GL) returns no results...

Something looks messed up around line 1704. Are those four GL- prefixed lines supposed to go with Ghana (GH)? Or is that meant for Greenland?

Is Greenland even a country? lol.

I'm using this will Google's GeoMap chart tool, so I had to add:

"GL":{"code":"GL","name":"Greenland","division":"country"},

Yes, Greenland (GL) is assigned under ISO: http://www.iso.org/iso/home/standards/country_codes/iso-3166-1_decoding_table.htm
