Examples

The following example demonstrates how to use via the class to retrieve UN M.49 region data.

using System;
using System.Linq;
using Cuemon.Globalization;

namespace MyApp.Examples;

public class StatisticalRegionInfoExample
{
    public void Demonstrate()
    {
        // Get United States by its UN M.49 code
        StatisticalRegionInfo usa = World.GetCountry("840");

        if (usa != null)
        {
            Console.WriteLine($"Name: {usa.Name}");
            Console.WriteLine($"Code: {usa.Code}");
            Console.WriteLine($"ISO Alpha-2: {usa.IsoAlpha2}");
            Console.WriteLine($"ISO Alpha-3: {usa.IsoAlpha3}");
            Console.WriteLine($"Kind: {usa.Kind}");
            Console.WriteLine($"Parent: {usa.Parent?.Name}");

        // List all European countries
        var europe = World.GetStatisticalRegion("150");
        if (europe != null)
        {
            Console.WriteLine($"\nCountries in {europe.Name}:");
            foreach (var country in europe.Countries.Take(5))
            {
                Console.WriteLine($" - {country.Name} ({country.IsoAlpha2})");

}}}}
}

Remarks

UN M.49 is a standard for representing country and area codes for statistical use. This class provides a unified view of the hierarchy, treating countries as leaf nodes in the region tree. Each instance has a Kind that identifies its level in the hierarchy (World, Region, Subregion, IntermediateRegion, or CountryOrTerritory). Source: https://unstats.un.org/unsd/methodology/m49/
