 INTRODUCTION
For an entity located in several countries, codes are assigned for each country, or for a larger encompassing region.
Generally, codes are assigned for headings in a subject added entry for a geographic name (field 651) or headings in other fields which contain a geographic subdivision (subfield $z).
Codes are assigned for both the place of origin and current location of peoples who are in an area other than their permanent homeland, including travelers, temporary residents, aliens, and foreign students.
