Class StatisticalRegionInfo

Namespace

Cuemon.Globalization

Assembly

Cuemon.Core.dll

Represents a geographic region or country as defined by the UN M.49 standard.

public sealed class StatisticalRegionInfo

Inheritance

object

StatisticalRegionInfo

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/

Properties

Children

Gets the direct child regions or countries of this region.

public IEnumerable<StatisticalRegionInfo> Children { get; }

Property Value

IEnumerable<StatisticalRegionInfo>

An enumerable list of children. Empty list if this is a leaf node (country).

Code

Gets the UN M.49 numeric code for this region or country.

public string Code { get; }

Property Value

string

The three-digit UN M.49 code (e.g., "001" for World, "840" for United States).

Countries

Gets all countries in this geographic region.

public IEnumerable<StatisticalRegionInfo> Countries { get; }

Property Value

IEnumerable<StatisticalRegionInfo>

An enumerable list of child regions where Kind is CountryOrTerritory.

Remarks

This is a convenience property that filters Children to return only countries. It recursively includes all descendant countries, not just immediate children.

IsLandLockedDevelopingCountry

Gets a value indicating whether this country is classified as a Land Locked Developing Country (LLDC).

public bool IsLandLockedDevelopingCountry { get; }

Property Value

bool

true if this is an LLDC; otherwise, false. Always false for non-countries.

IsLeastDevelopedCountry

Gets a value indicating whether this country is classified as a Least Developed Country (LDC).

public bool IsLeastDevelopedCountry { get; }

Property Value

bool

true if this is an LDC; otherwise, false. Always false for non-countries.

IsSmallIslandDevelopingState

Gets a value indicating whether this country is classified as a Small Island Developing State (SIDS).

public bool IsSmallIslandDevelopingState { get; }

Property Value

bool

true if this is a SIDS; otherwise, false. Always false for non-countries.

IsoAlpha2

Gets the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code for this country.

public string IsoAlpha2 { get; }

Property Value

string

The two-letter ISO code (e.g., "US", "DE"), or null if this is not a country.

IsoAlpha3

Gets the ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 code for this country.

public string IsoAlpha3 { get; }

Property Value

string

The three-letter ISO code (e.g., "USA", "DEU"), or null if this is not a country.

Kind

Gets the kind of this statistical region.

public StatisticalRegionKind Kind { get; }

Property Value

StatisticalRegionKind

A StatisticalRegionKind value indicating the hierarchy level.

Name

Gets the official UN name of this region or country.

public string Name { get; }

Property Value

string

The name (e.g., "World", "Europe", "United States of America").

Parent

Gets the parent region in the UN M.49 hierarchy.

public StatisticalRegionInfo Parent { get; }

Property Value

StatisticalRegionInfo

The parent region, or null if this is the World region (code "001").

Region

Gets the .NET RegionInfo for this country if available.

public RegionInfo Region { get; }

Property Value

RegionInfo

The RegionInfo instance, or null if not a country or not supported by the OS.

Remarks

Some territories (e.g., "British Indian Ocean Territory") may not have OS-level support.

Methods

GetAllDescendants()

Gets all descendant regions and countries recursively.

public IEnumerable<StatisticalRegionInfo> GetAllDescendants()

Returns

IEnumerable<StatisticalRegionInfo>

An enumerable of all descendants in the hierarchy.

GetAncestors()

Gets all ancestor regions in the hierarchy up to and including World.

public IEnumerable<StatisticalRegionInfo> GetAncestors()

Returns

IEnumerable<StatisticalRegionInfo>

An enumerable of ancestor regions, ordered from immediate parent to World.

ToString()

Returns a string that represents the current object.

public override string ToString()

Returns

string

A string that represents the current object.
