Why Svalbard and Jan Mayen 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.
Svalbard and Jan Mayen holds the alpha-2 code SJ, the alpha-3 code SJM, the numeric code 744 and the internet domain .sj. 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 +4779.
