Country code changes, 1998–2026

Every ISO 3166 country-code change since webcentive.com started in 1998: codes retired, codes renamed and new codes assigned. Old codes keep their webcentive pages, with a note pointing to the countries that replaced them.

New on webcentive in 2026: 11 country pages

These ISO codes were assigned between 2006 and 2011 but were missing from the webcentive list, so they got their own pages in 2026. The frozen 2026 list was saved earlier, so it does not include them.
