Px code list of countries

Valid classification

- Px code lists are used for presenting table-format statistical data. They are generally based on standard classifications. Uniform aggregation and unknown categories and aggregation and combined categories used by the statistics in their tables are added to the Px code lists.
- Px code list of countries for use in px tabulation.
  
  The classification of countries is used for classifying the nationalities of people in population statistics, for example.
- The code system of countries includes independent countries and non-independent countries that according to the standard, are colonies or other geopolitically significant areas.
  
  The Finnish Standards Association confirms the national standard SFS-ISO 3166 (Standard SFS-ISO 3166. Codes for names of countries. Finnish Standards Association, 1998). The code system includes three-digit, two-character and three-character codes for countries.
  
  The three-digit code issued by the United Nations Statistical Division is primarily recommended to be used in statistical systems. The two-character code is meant for general use. The three-character code can be used to make it easier to identify the area and increase clarity. The character codes are mainly based on the English names of countries.
  
  The short form is used for the names of countries (cf. Finland, Republic of Finland). The Finnish names are based on the SFS-ISO 3166 standard and the guidelines of the Institute for the Languages of Finland. The Swedish names are based on the guidelines of the Institute for the Languages of Finland and the English names on the ISO 3166 standard and the guidelines of the Institute for the Languages of Finland.
  
  The classification of countries is a public administration standard (JHS 186).
