Norwegian SSB to ISO country codes

==================================

The Norwegian Central Bureau of Statistics (and other parts of the

Norwegian government) uses a [custom standard][] (Standard for land og

statsborgerskap i personstatistikk) for denoting citizenships with

three-digit numeric codes.

We had a use-case where this data needed to be mapped to ISO country

codes. The mapping (and the method for establishing it) are in this

repository in the file `ssb-to-iso.json`.

## Notes

The mapping was established by matching the names of countries in a

list of ISO codes and the Norwegian government's country list. Some

names had to be edited manually, and some countries are not mapped:

* The Dutch territories "Curaçao", "Sint Maarten" and "Bonaire, Sint

  Eustatius og Saba" are all mapped to the `NL` country code.

* As SSB data deals with citizenships primarly, and not countries,

  there are no mappings for stateless people.

See `combine.jq` for the mapping logic used.

This repository is released into the **Public Domain**. You can use it

with no restrictions whatsoever.
