Regions

Uganda is a country in East Africa characterized by fertile plateaus, the source region of the Nile River, large lakes including Lake Victoria, and mountainous areas along its borders.

📍 Uganda is a landlocked country located in East Africa, situated in the Great Lakes region near the equator. It is bordered by South Sudan to the north, Kenya to the east, Tanzania to the south, Rwanda to the southwest, and Democratic Republic of the Congo to the west.
Uganda’s landscape includes plateaus, mountains, lakes, and savannas. It contains part of Lake Victoria, the largest lake in Africa, which plays a key role in the region’s climate and economy. The country is also the source of the White Nile, which flows northward.
Uganda’s location in the Great Lakes region has historically made it an important center for agriculture, trade, and cultural exchange in East Africa.

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.
