Earth is the third planet from the Sun and the only known world to support life, featuring vast oceans, diverse ecosystems, and complex geological processes.

📍 Morocco is a country located in North Africa, positioned at the northwest corner of the continent along both the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. It is bordered by Algeria to the east and Western Sahara to the south, with coastlines along the Atlantic Ocean to the west and the Mediterranean Sea to the north.

Morocco’s landscape is diverse, featuring the Atlas Mountains running through the center of the country, coastal plains, and desert regions that extend into the Sahara in the south. The country’s varied terrain supports agriculture, trade, and tourism.

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.
