Should the "Autonomous communities" be included on this page? The codes don't seem to fit the format, although they are mentioned on the ISO newsletters. --Phil | Talk 11:15, Feb 24, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] =================================
The page is just wrong, as is the page for Albania (and maybe others). The codes do fit the format, it is simply that in some cases 3166-2 describes a hierarchy and in those cases the top level codes are shown stripped of their country prefix.
3166-2:ES describes three types of entity. autonomous communities, provinces categorised by autonomous community, and African cities.
Sorted alphabetically by province within community, the correct situation for Spain is:

Note that with the exception of the Balearics (IB/PM), whenever a Community maps to a single province the upper and lower level codes are the same. Additionally the above table shows the correct labels which are also a key part of the Standard!
Hope that helps. Can somebody please rewrite the article accordingly? Chris Dent
