# ISO 3166-2:KP

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Main article: ISO 3166-2

ISO 3166-2:KP is the entry for North Korea (officially the Democratic People's Republic of Korea) 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.

Currently for North Korea, ISO 3166-2 codes are defined for 1 capital city, 1 special city, and 9 provinces. All of them are province-level subdivisions. The three special administrative regions, i.e., the Kaesong Industrial Region, the Kumgangsan Tourist Region, and the Sinuiju Special Administrative Region, are not listed.

Each code consists of two parts, separated by a hyphen. The first part is `KP`, the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code of North Korea. The second part is two digits:

- 01: capital city
- 02–10: provinces
- 13: special city

## [edit] Current codes

Subdivision names are listed as in the ISO 3166-2 standard published by the ISO 3166 Maintenance Agency (ISO 3166/MA).

- Subdivision name 1 — Romanization system: McCune-Reischauer 1939
- Subdivision name 2 — Romanization system: KPS 11080:2002
