The ISA0001 is a standard to define codes for micronation country names, dependent territories, and subdivisions created by the Intermicronational Standards Administration. The standard employs an alphabetic three-letter code to represent a micronation, to save time and energy when describing the micronation and to prevent errors in the description of a country. The official name of the standard is Codes for the representation of names of micronations.


Designation

It consists of two parts:

  • ISA0001-A3-001, Codes for the representation of names of micronations, Part 1 - Country Codes currently in use, defines the names of country codes currently in use by identifying them with a three-letter code.
  • ISA0001-A3-002, Codes for the representation of names of micronations, Part 2 - Country Codes no longer in use, defines the names of country codes that were previously registered in ISA0001 but for one or more reasons are no longer used.
  • ISA0001-A3-003, Codes for the representation of subdivisions of micronations, defines the names of subdivisions of country codes in use by identifying them with a three-letter code.

Maintenance Committee

The standard is maintained by a group of representatives from micronational standards organisations called the Maintenance Committee (ISA/MC). Its principal tasks are:

  • To add and eliminate country names and to assign code elements to them;
  • To publish lists of country names and code elements;
  • To maintain a reference list of country names and code elements and periods of use;
  • To issue newsletters announcing changes to the code table(s);
  • To advise users on the application of the ISA.


Members

The Maintenance Committee consists of three members with voting rights. They are:

Ameristralian Municipal Standards (AMS) - Ameristralia
Standards Administration of Brennonia (SAB) - Brennonia
Felinia Division of Standards (FDS) - Felinia

The Administration also features representatives from intermicronational organisations who do not have voting powers. They are: Vacant
