Why Bouvet Island has its own code
ISO 3166-1 assigns codes to territories as well as to sovereign states, because the codes are used for shipping, banking, internet domains, statistics and data exchange rather than as a statement about statehood. That is why this territory appears in country dropdowns, address forms and datasets alongside places many times its size.
Bouvet Island holds the alpha-2 code BV, the alpha-3 code BVT, the numeric code 074 and the internet domain .bv. It lists no capital city, because there is no seat of government to name. The World Bank does not publish a separate population figure for it, so this page shows none rather than an estimate. Calls are routed through the code +47.
