List of countries by regional classification
This table is used to do regional classification in a variety of contexts at the Wikimedia Foundation. Specifically it is used in conjunction with the MaxMind IP geolocation tool to group page requests. For compatibility, we use the ISO 3166 list of countries augmented by a few region names which are sometimes returned by MaxMind.

The Regional Classifications are from the International Telecommunications Union.
