🇯🇵 Japan - Country
📍 Japan is an island country located in East Asia, situated in the northwest Pacific Ocean off the eastern coast of the Asian continent. It lies east of China, North Korea, and South Korea, and north of Taiwan.
As an island nation, Japan has no land borders and is surrounded by the Pacific Ocean, along with nearby seas such as the Sea of Japan to the west and the East China Sea to the southwest. It consists of four main islands—Honshu, Hokkaido, Kyushu, and Shikoku—and many smaller islands.
Japan’s terrain is largely mountainous and volcanic, with limited flat land for settlement. The country lies along the Pacific Ring of Fire, making it prone to earthquakes and volcanic activity. Japan’s location has historically influenced its development, trade, and cultural exchange, while also contributing to periods of isolation and unique cultural evolution.

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.
