ISO 3166-2:CZ
ISO 3166-2:CZ is the entry for official name Czech Republic 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 Czechia, ISO 3166-2 codes are defined for two levels of subdivisions:
- 14 regions
- 91 districts (including 15 districts of Prague)
Each code consists of two parts, separated by a hyphen. The first part is CZ, the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code of Czechia. The second part is either of the following:
- two letters: regions
- three characters (two digits followed by a digit or a letter): districts
For the districts, the first two digits indicate the region where the district is in (based on the original NUTS code of the region):
- 10: Prague
- 20: Central Bohemian Region
- 31: South Bohemian Region
- 32: Plzeň Region
- 41: Karlovy Vary Region
- 42: Ústí nad Labem Region
