as a first and short reply: since today exits no document into the world
which indicate any code for Continents (i.e. United Nations, Geographic
encyclopedia, ISO standard papers, and so on).
A brief history:
About in the middle of 1980s the packet radio approached in Europe and
packets were transferred at 300 or 1200 bds by using the Baycom
technology (software and hardware): many thanks to German OM people!
The rule adopted in Europe, where there are *many* mountains, (and lots
of digipeaters to climb over!) was to reduce at first the R-lines and so
the 2-letter use for Continents was the first goal; and so EU, NA, SA,
AS. AF, OC.
In particular the following table, show the subdivision of the
American continent deriving from the United Nations documents:
019 Americas
^^^^^^^^^^^^
419 Latin America and the Caribbean
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
029 Caribbean
013 Central America
005 South America
021 Northern America
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The continent of North America (003) comprises Northern America 021),
Caribbean (029), and Central America (013).
Other *official* explanations:
There is no established convention for the designation of "developed"
and "developing" countries or areas in the United Nations system.
In common practice, Japan in Asia, Canada and the United States in
northern America, Australia and New Zealand in Oceania, and Europe
are considered "developed" regions or areas.
In international trade statistics, the Southern African Customs Union
is also treated as a developed region and Israel as a developed
country; countries emerging from the former Yugoslavia are treated as
developing countries; and countries of eastern Europe and of the
Commonwealth of Independent States (code 172) in Europe are not
included under either developed or developing regions.
MY NOTE: so Hawaii may be considered as NA.
The Metropolitan legend about Oceania is explained/designed as:
009 Oceania
053 Australia and New Zealand
054 Melanesia
057 Micronesia
061 Polynesia
So, all the above and vast territory *must* be considered
as OC.
To be exhaustive on the matter the *Name of Countries* MUST
be abbreviated according to the following ISO table:
