Notes on Country Names China Notes: Hong Kong and Macau are Special Administrative Regions and from an Airline viewpoint have to be treated separately from the rest of the Peoples Republic of China. With Taiwan the situation is more complex as it has an elected president a democratically elected government and is accepted by certain countries as being a sovereign nation. However it is viewed by the Chinese Government in Beijing as the 23rd province of China. This basic issue of sovereignty obviously results in challenges for Airlines wishing to operate to Taiwan and the rest of China, Russian Federation Note: The official ISO Country code is: RU. However for Airline purposes ONLY IATA Regions and Traffic Conference have split the Federation along the line of the Urals into: East of the Urals – Code XU West of the Urals – Code RU. This means there are three entries in the ENCODE/DECODE Tables, the official and the IATA Split. Vatican City State and Holy See - Note: Some documents use the Holy See rather than the Vatican. In this document the information is detailed against the Vatican entry Zaire Note – Name changed to: The Democratic Republic Of The Congo
