ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

ISO 3166-2:KP

ISO 3166-2:KP is a code that is used to identify the province, county or district of North Korea. Just like how you have a name to identify you, places like North Korea use these codes to identify and manage their different areas.

The code is made up of two parts. The first part, KP, stands for North Korea. The second part is a combination of two or three letters that represent the province, county or district.

For example, let's take the code “KP-PY” which represents the Pyongyang province or city in North Korea. “KP” stands for North Korea and “PY” represents the Pyongyang province or city.

These codes are really important for the government to manage their different areas, to make sure that each area gets the help it needs and that things are fair for everyone in North Korea. They also help businesses and other organizations to identify and communicate with different places in North Korea.
