Country and Nation are two fields with special characteristics. By nature they are pure data fields and can store any value, e.g. GER, Switzerland, AT, USA, 840, etc.

The following fields can be called using the Dot Logic.

Country.Name
Nation.Name

 

Country/Nation name in native language (e.g. Deutschland, Österreich)

 
.lang
.lang
Country/Nation name in a given language of the software's translation table. E.g. Country.Name.en returns the country name in English
Country.IntName
Nation.IntName
Returns the same as Country/Nation.Name.En which is the commonly recognised International Name

Country.MultiName

Nation.MultiName

Returns a multi-language String which can then be displayed in the chosen language, e.g. for online results lists to show countries in the users local language.
Note that this will drastically increase the size of the list when loaded and so may impact loading speeds for large lists of data.

2 Letter country code according to ISO 3166-1
Country.Alpha3
Nation.Alpha3

Country.UCI

Country.isEU
Nation.isEU

These fields are derived from the fields nation/country and cannot be changed. They interpret the value in nation/country and return the corresponding value. For example, Nation.IOC always gives back GER, no matter if DE, DEU, Deutschland, Germany or GER was entered / imported. This way, the nations are displayed uniformly on participant or result lists, especially useful when participant data comes from different sources, e.g import via Excel-files or entry into the Participant Window.

The Participants Window saves the numerical code according to ISO 3166-1
