Geography

**Overview**
This data package contains geography related datasets which include various codes, for example, airport codes, country and continent codes, IMO IMDG classification codes, dialing codes, currency codes, container codes, language codes, package codes, US states and territories codes. It also contains data on population figures and geolocation of cities and countries.

**Description**
This data package is useful when data on various codes and common abbreviations used to represent the states and territories of the United States, their spatial relations, population figures and major cities of the world and their geolocation is required.
In addition to the above data, this data package also contains detailed information on the following:

- Airport codes, i.e., International Air Transport Association (IATA) airport code, a three-letter code which is used in passenger reservation, ticketing and baggage-handling systems and the International Civil Aviation Organization.
- A list of countries by continent. Continent codes and country codes are also included in this dataset
- All IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) language tags of the official resource indicated by Library of Congress Unicode. The default language for all the codes in the dataset is ""unicode-cldr"".
- International Organization for Standardization ISO 4217 is the International Standard for currency codes.
- A coded list of ISO 6346 shipping containers, used in international trade and electronic shipping messages.

**Benefits**
- Useful for researchers working in the field of geography and world statistics. comprehensive list of international codes, including continent codes, country codes and city codes. population figures and estimates available for analysis in normalized form.
