Zambia is a landlocked country in southern Africa characterized by highland plateaus, river systems including the Zambezi River, vast savannas, and major natural features such as Victoria Falls.

📍 Zambia is a landlocked country located in Southern Africa, positioned on a high plateau in the central part of the continent. It is bordered by Democratic Republic of the Congo to the north, Tanzania to the northeast, Malawi to the east, Mozambique to the southeast, Zimbabwe to the south, Botswana and Namibia to the southwest, and Angola to the west.
Zambia’s landscape consists mainly of high plateaus, with some hills and river valleys. The country is home to the Zambezi River, which forms part of its southern border and includes Victoria Falls, one of the largest and most famous waterfalls in the world.
Zambia’s location in southern Africa has historically made it part of regional trade networks, while its rivers and natural resources play an important role in its economy and environment.

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 worldwide 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.
