The GENC Standard specifies an information model for representing names and codes of geopolitical entities and administrative subdivisions, with supporting information. A geopolitical entity is a region controlled by a political community having an organized government and possessing internal and external sovereignty, most often as a State but sometimes having a dependent relationship on another political authority, or a special sovereignty status. Geopolitical entities may be divided into administratively subordinate divisions. A GENC code (or, synonymously, an ISO 3166 code element) for a geopolitical entity or administrative subdivision is a unique designation of that concept within a set of similar concepts established by a suitable authority. This information model is based on that of ISO 3166 but extended to capture additional information required by U.S. Government stakeholders.
