DDTC Updated Country Codes on Nov 21, Affected DSP Forms
On November 21, 2011, the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls updated its master country names and country codes list in accordance with the changes in geopolitical definitions of states. As a result, for all forms where users can select a country (DSP-2032, -5, -6, -61, -62, -73, -74, -85, and Batch (Common schema)), the country lists are updated to add new countries, remove expired countries, and update the names of countries whose names are changed. Earlier versions of these eight DSP Forms are no longer accepted as a result. The affected systems are DT2e and DTAS Online.

DDTC states that the changes include the: (a) addition of four countries, (b) modification of twenty-four country names; and, (c) removal of 17 countries that are now considered expired. DDTC adds that its business goal is to assure that new actions can be taken or requested only on existing countries under the updated names, while leaving existing data referencing expired countries intact.
DDTC has previously provided the forms here.
