Luxembourg is a small landlocked country in Western Europe characterized by forested hills in the north, fertile valleys in the south, and river landscapes along the Moselle and other waterways.

📍 Luxembourg is a small, landlocked country located in Western Europe, positioned between major European nations. It is bordered by Belgium to the west and north, Germany to the east, and France to the south.
Luxembourg’s terrain features rolling hills, forests, and river valleys, particularly in the Ardennes region in the north, while the southern areas are more developed and urbanized. The country’s central location in Western Europe has historically made it an important crossroads for trade, culture, and political activity. Today, it plays a significant role in European finance and international institutions.

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.
