ISO 3166-2:MU
ISO 3166-2:MU is the entry in ISO 3166-2, part of the ISO 3166 standard published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), which defines codes for the names of the principal subdivisions of Mauritius (whose ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code is MU).
Currently 5 cities, 3 dependencies, and 9 districts are assigned codes.[note 1] Each code starts with MU-, followed by two letters.
