ISO 3166-2:TW

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

ISO 3166-2:TW is the entry for Taiwan , [1] " Taiwan, Province of China ", [2] or " Taiwan (Province of China) ", [3] in ISO 3166-2 , part of the ISO 3166 standard published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), which defines codes for the names of the principal subdivisions (e.g., provinces or states ) of all countries coded in ISO 3166-1 .

ISO 3166-2:TW defines codes for the subdivisions of Taiwan located on the islands of Taiwan (Formosa), Penghu (Pescadores), Kinmen , Matsu (Lienchiang), and their subsidiary islands . These areas are de facto under the administration of the government of the Republic of China which resides in Taipei . The government of the People's Republic of China , which resides in Beijing , also claims these islands but considers ROC-held Fujian islands of Kinmen and Matsu to be within its Fujian Province, [4] not its nominal Taiwan Province (ISO 3166-2 code: CN-TW ).

Currently ISO 3166-2:TW lists 13 counties , 3 cities , and 6 special municipalities . Constitutionally the counties and cities are part of the ROC provinces of Taiwan and Fujian , but since the provincial governments were largely streamlined in 1998 these 22 subdivisions are regarded as the principal subdivisions of Republic of China (Taiwan) .

Format [ edit ]

  • Each code consists of two parts, separated by a hyphen. The first part is TW , the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code of Taiwan. The second part is three letters.
  • The divisions in the list are categorized in three types:
    • Cities : Romanized as shih ( 市 ) and formerly called "municipalities" in ISO 3166-2. The divisions carry City ( 市 ) in their official names.
    • Counties : Romanized as hsien ( 縣 ) and formerly called "districts" in ISO 3166-2. The divisions carry County ( 縣 ) in their official names.
    • Special municipalities : Romanized as chih-hsia-shih ( 直轄市 ). The divisions also carry City ( 市 ) in their official names.
  • Taiwan is currently assigned the ISO 3166-2 code CN-TW under ISO 3166-2:CN , as China solely claims it as a province of China .
