Standardized forms of the Slovenian names of all independent countries and some dependent territories included in the ISO 3166-1 global standard were prepared for the Slovenian government’s Commission for the Standardization of Geographical Names. Short names, official short names, and official full names of countries were prepared; in the case of specific discrepancies, these are now being entered in standardized form into the updated normative guidelines.
