The International Organization for Standardization, located in Geneva, Switzerland, maintains the official lists of standard 2 and 3 letter country codes as used for internet addresses. More information is at http://www.iso.ch/

Note that country codes and language codes are orthogonal. Confusingly, sometimes a country code is the same as the language code of the language most often spoken there, other times the same letter sequence is used for unrelated languages and countries. Wikipedias are named for their languages, not for countries.

Some wikipedias are also registered with country codes. If the country generally uses one language, it redirects automatically to that the language wikipedia. For example, http://www.wikipedia.de redirects to http://de.wikipedia.org. If the country uses multiple languages, the pages serves as a portal to each of the languages used in that country.
