How to use this tool
Enter a country code to check capital city, region, income group, and coordinates for travel, relocation, study, and quick fact checks.
Instant global country profiles providing authoritative ISO 3166 country codes, capital cities, official currencies, international calling codes, and road driving sides.
💡 3 Quick Steps to Get Started
Search by common name, full country title, or 2-letter ISO alpha-2 code.
Instantly view capital city, population, currency code, and top-level domain.
Identify international dialing prefixes (+XX) and whether vehicles drive on the left or right.
When it helps
Turn World Bank public country data into an easy country fact card.
How it works
The tool queries the World Bank Countries API and summarizes ISO code, capital, region, income group, and coordinates. For formal use, verify with the destination authority.
Worked example
Example: enter JP to find Japan, Tokyo, and East Asia & Pacific public data.
Limits and data handling
The browser waits up to 20 seconds, and the backend allows up to 30 lookups from the same source in 60 seconds. Invalid input, no data, rate limits, timeout, or provider failure shows an error and never invents country data. World Bank results also do not determine diplomatic recognition, borders, or current entry rules.
The country code and locale are transmitted through the GoGo Tools backend to the World Bank Countries API. GoGo Tools does not build personal search history, and analytics records the tool identifier rather than the country code or returned content.
ISO 3166 Country Codes, Geographic Data & Standards Handbook
1. The ISO 3166-1 Country Code Standard Matrix
Standardized country representation is governed by ISO 3166-1 across three distinct formats: Two-letter Alpha-2 codes (used in ccTLDs like .jp and IBAN identifiers), Three-letter Alpha-3 codes (used in machine-readable passports under ICAO 9303), and Three-digit Numeric codes (immune to script barriers in database indexing).
2. International Dialing Prefixes (ITU-T E.164)
The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) E.164 standard establishes sovereign country calling codes (+1 North America, +44 UK, +81 Japan, +886 Taiwan). International roaming format dictates prefixing with '+' followed by country and national significant numbers.
3. Time Zone Spans and Geographic Metadata
Profiles integrate IANA time zone bounds, sovereign capitals, currency ISO codes, and official United Nations regional groupings.

FAQ
Country profile lookup: Which country code can I enter?
Enter a two-letter ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code such as JP or US. Blank or differently sized input is rejected before lookup.
Country profile lookup: What country results come from the World Bank Countries API?
The GoGo Tools backend asks the World Bank Countries API for country name, ISO code, capital, region, income group, and coordinates. Results show source and fetched time, and a successful response for the same query may be cached for 86,400 seconds.
Country profile lookup: When is a country result missing or unsuitable for use?
The browser waits up to 20 seconds, and the backend allows up to 30 lookups from the same source in 60 seconds. Invalid input, no data, rate limits, timeout, or provider failure shows an error and never invents country data. World Bank results also do not determine diplomatic recognition, borders, or current entry rules.
Country profile lookup: Where is the country code transmitted?
The country code and locale are transmitted through the GoGo Tools backend to the World Bank Countries API. GoGo Tools does not build personal search history, and analytics records the tool identifier rather than the country code or returned content.
