ISO 3166-2:TW is the entry for Taiwan 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. Due to the political status of Taiwan in the United Nations, the ISO 3166-1 full name is Taiwan, Province of China.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Country names and code elements )〕 The definition of ISO 3166-2:TW includes the divisions located in Taiwan (Formosa), Penghu (the Pescadores), and their subsidiary islands. Politically, these areas are governed by the Republic of China, including Taiwan Province and several special municipalities. Currently ISO 3166-2:TW lists 16 counties, 5 Provincial cities, and 2 special municipalities. However, after the administrative divisions reformed in December 2010, the divisions in the defined area became 12 counties, 3 Provincial cities, and 5 special municipalities. The change is not yet reflected on ISO 3166-2:TW. Note that the districts (counties) and the municipalities (provincial cities) are part of the Taiwan Province of the Republic of China, while the special municipalities are not part of the province. Since the streamlining of the Taiwan Province in 1998, these subdivisions are regarded as the principal subdivisions of Taiwan. == Format == * Each code consists of two parts, separated by a hyphen. The first part is , the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code of Taiwan. The second part is three letters. * The divisions in the list are categorized in three types: :# Districts: Romanized as ''hsien'', translated to counties (縣). The divisions carry ''County'' (縣) in their official name. :# Municipalities: Romanized as ''shih'', translated to provincial cities (市). The divisions carry ''City'' (市) in their official name. :# Special municipalities: Translated to special municipalities (直轄市). The divisions also carry ''City'' (市) in their official name. * Taiwan is also assigned the ISO 3166-2 code under ISO 3166-2:CN (China), as the People's Republic of China considers it as a province of China. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「ISO 3166-2:TW」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
