ISO 3166-2:GN is the entry for Guinea in ISO 3166-2, part of the ISO 3166 standard published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), which defines codes for the names of the principal subdivisions (e.g., provinces or states) of all countries coded in ISO 3166-1.
Currently for Guinea, ISO 3166-2 codes are defined for two levels of subdivisions:
- 7 governorates and 1 special zone
- 33 prefectures
The special zone Conakry is the capital of the country and has special status equal to the governorates.
Each code consists of two parts, separated by a hyphen. The first part is GN, the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code of Guinea. The second part is either of the following:
- one letter: governorates and special zone
- two letters: prefectures
