Five years after my last blog entry („Now over thousand embassies tagged with country code“): Now we have five thousand embassies tagged with country codes!

I took ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country codes [1] and tagged the embassy’s sending country (for example the German embassy in Paris: “country=DE”; see also [2]). I tagged at least a third of these tags.

There are around 5,600 objects marked as embassies, but some of them don’t have a name or a name that doesn’t sound like an embassy.
