UN M49 Country Codes

- Country Codes – Unique three-digit numerical identifiers for each country or territory.
- Geographical Regions – Classification into macro-regions such as Africa, Americas, Asia, Europe, and Oceania.
- Economic and Political Groupings – Includes Least Developed Countries (LDCs), Landlocked Developing Countries (LLDCs), and Small Island Developing States (SIDS).
