Guinea Subprefectures (original) (raw)

When "Administrative Subdivisions of Countries" was written, the current version of the ISO 3166-2 standard erroneously assigned a code of KD to both Kindia and Koundara prefectures. In order to get unique codes, I arbitrarily changed the code for Kindia to KI. Later, ISO 3166-2 was updated to fix the anomaly, and the fix they adopted was to change the code for Koundara to KN. In 2004, I added text from the book to the website. In so doing, I accidentally used the old ISO codes with my arbitrary correction as HASC codes. I am now updating the HASC codes to be consistent with the ISO codes.

The list of 340 subprefectures and communes of Guinea below is derived fromthis page and other sources. The communes are precisely those whose HASC codes begin with GN.CK.
