Historyshots poster (2/18) 15 - Country Codes of the World

Country Codes of the World maps 245 top-level domain country codes encompassing all United Nations countries as well as numerous islands and territories. (At the end of every URL and email address is a top-level domain. Although .com is the world’s most popular top-level domain, it is far from alone. There are more than 260 top-level domains in use around the world, most of which are country code top-level domains.)

Each two-digit code is aligned over the country it represents and is color coded with the legend below for quick and easy reference.

Each two-digit code is sized relative to the population of the country or territory, with the exception of China and India, which were restrained by 30% to fit the layout. At the other end of the spectrum, the smallest type size used reflects those countries with fewer than 10 million residents.

This map is an excellent resource for managers of global Web sites and global marketing executives. And because there are no country borders, this map has been proven by teachers to be a valuable tool for teaching world geography.
