Why Heard Island and McDonald Islands 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.
Heard Island and McDonald Islands holds the alpha-2 code HM, the alpha-3 code HMD, the numeric code 334 and the internet domain .hm, .aq.
