There are quite a few, but I don't know which other ones follow ISO 3166-1. http://sameas.org/?uri=http://dbpedia.org/resource/Austria Gives a selection. Or also http://unlocode.rkbexplorer.com/id/AT http://ontologi.es/place/AT Our site, http://unlocode.rkbexplorer.com/id/AT is our capture of UN/LOCODE 2009-1, the United Nations Code for Trade and Transport Locations, which uses the 2-letter country codes from ISO 3166-1, as well as the 1-3 letter subdivision codes of ISO 3166-2 See http://www.unece.org/cefact/locode/ It also gives inclusion and coords, etc. We need to do more coref to other than onologi.es .
