<h2>Policy</h2>
<p>When listing countries or other geographic areas in
documentation, menus, mirror/FTP lists, or other contexts, it is
important to introduce such lists as "Countries or Regions" so that
an implied sovereignty claim is neither made nor denied to those
regions which have their own top level domains.</p>
<p>The ISO 3166 country codes do not necessarily refer to
nation-states (e.g. Hong Kong) and should not be treated as such.
Likewise the "official" ISO 3166 short English names for those
countries and regions which have top level domains are in some cases
controversial, and not all of them are commonly used in the software
industry.</p>
<p>We follow the guidelines used by IBM, Microsoft, Google, and
other prominent software companies in their documentation in that
Taiwan should never be included with a distinction referring to the
Republic of China, People's Republic of China, or a national flag.
Interpretation of the word "Taiwan" is in the eye of the beholder,
and The FreeBSD Project does not endorse any particular position.</p>

<h2>Policy</h2>
<p>The FreeBSD Project uses ISO 3166 country codes in
software included in the release distributions and the
official website to describe geographical regions in the
world.</p>
