Benin is a country in West Africa characterized by a narrow shape stretching from the Gulf of Guinea northward through coastal plains, savannas, and river valleys into the interior highlands.
๐ Benin is a country located in West Africa, positioned along the Gulf of Guinea and forming part of the regionโs coastal corridor. It lies between Togo to the west, Nigeria to the east, and Burkina Faso and Niger to the north, with a southern coastline along the Gulf of Guinea.
Beninโs geography includes a narrow coastal plain, followed by plateaus and savanna landscapes that extend northward. The country features rivers and fertile areas that support agriculture, especially in the southern regions. Its location has historically made it an important center for trade and cultural exchange in West Africa, particularly along routes connecting the interior to the Atlantic coast.
What is an ISO Country Code?
ISO country codes come from the international standard ISO 3166 created by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). These codes are used globally in databases, aviation systems, banking, shipping, and international data systems to uniquely identify countries and territories.ISO 3166-1 codes are the two-letter country codes such as US, FR, or JP. These are called Level-1 ISO codes.
Only ISO 3166-1 codes support flag emojis. Flag emojis are created by combining two Unicode regional indicator letters that match the country's ISO two-letter code.
ISO 3166-2 codes represent states, provinces, or regions. Example: US-AZ = Arizona CA-ON = Ontario Subdivision codes do not have flag emojis.
