Guernsey Jersey and Isle of Man ISO 3166-1 Codes

[Debbie Garside]

FYI These are the codes as requested:

	Guernsey			GG	GGY
	Jersey			JE	JEY
	Isle of Man 		IM	IMN

The Channel Islands comprise the Bailiwick of Jersey (population  87,200)
and the Bailiwick of Guernsey (population  62,700), itself comprising the
three separate jurisdictions of Guernsey (with the adjacent inhabited islets
of Herm and Jethou), Alderney and Sark.

The Channel Islands are an aggregated geographical grouping rather than a
political entity and did not form part of the original request to ISO.

Regards


Debbie Garside
