This was super helpful, thanks!
Apparently, Switzerland is not subject to GDPR, as it is not an EEA state (https://planit.legal/blog/en/the-applicability-of-the-gdpr-within-the-eea/).

For those omitting Switzerland, that's a business decision you may wish to discuss with your lawyers. Be aware that Switzerland is generally pretty in sync with the rest of Europe in things like data privacy and they are expected to come out with their own version of the GDPR in the near future. For the company I work for, we have decided to consider Switzerland as a GDPR country because there is not a compelling reason not to. Better safe than sorry is our thinking.
This is the list I'm using (the list above with Switzerland added then formatted as a compact javascript array):
const EUCountries = [ 'AT', 'BE', 'BG', 'HR', 'CY', 'CZ', 'DK', 'EE', 'FI', 'FR', 'DE', 'GR', 'HU', 'IE', 'IT', 'LV', 'LT', 'LU', 'MT', 'NL', 'PL', 'PT', 'RO', 'SK', 'SI', 'ES', 'SE', 'GB', 'GF', 'GP', 'MQ', 'ME', 'YT', 'RE', 'MF', 'GI', 'AX', 'PM', 'GL', 'BL', 'SX', 'AW', 'CW', 'WF', 'PF', 'NC', 'TF', 'AI', 'BM', 'IO', 'VG', 'KY', 'FK', 'MS', 'PN', 'SH', 'GS', 'TC', 'AD', 'LI', 'MC', 'SM', 'VA', 'JE', 'GG', 'GI', 'CH', ];
Is there a reason that no one's including the Isle of Man in these lists? There may be something that I'm missing, but I'd imagine that if we're including Jersey and Guernsey, we should also be including the Isle of Man (code IM).
Not sure if the OP is being updated, but if so it should have 'HR' (Croatia) before Cyprus
Here's a list in javascript array :
const europeArray = ['AL','AD','AT','AZ','BY','BE','BA','BG','HR','CY','CZ','DK','EE','FI','FR','GE','DE','GR','HU','IS','IE', 'IT','KZ','XK','LV','LI','LT','LU','MK','MT','MD','MC','ME','NL','NO','PL','PT','RO','RU','SM','RS','SK', 'SI','ES','SE','CH','TR','UA','GB','VA' ];
This is great! Here's a list that can be used with AMP:
["al","ad","at","az","by","be","ba","bg","hr","cy","cz","dk","ee","fi","fr","ge","de","gr","hu","is","ie", "it","kz","xk","lv","li","lt","lu","mk","mt","md","mc","me","nl","no","pl","pt","ro","ru","sm","rs","sk", "si","es","se","ch","tr","ua","gb","va"]

Why isn't this discussion just referenceing ISO-3166 alpha-2? Is the idea that you want to be able to tell from the code whether a jurisdiction is "in" the EU?, and where, for example, "Ceuta and Melilla" == "EA"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-2#Current_codes -
Would including "EU" blow people's minds? I ask because I'd be using this list to identify "jurisdiction of incorporation" and the EU now allows pan-European incorporation. See:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_legal_entity_types_by_country#European_Economic_Area_(including_the_European_Union)
@ArminCoder that list includes non EU countries as well, which is not what the original gist is about.
@AdamGerthel , yeah I taught it was about Europe countries, not just the ones in European Union. The array I provided are all the countries that are in Europe.
Here it is the EU country on a JSON with the ISO 3166 1 alpha2
{ "Austria": "AT", "Belgium": "BE", "Bulgaria": "BG", "Croatia": "HR", "Cyprus": "CY", "Czech Republic": "CZ", "Denmark": "DK", "Estonia": "EE", "Finland":"FI", "France": "FR", "Germany": "DE", "Greece": "GR", "Hungary": "HU", "Ireland": "IE", "Italy": "IT", "Latvia": "LV", "Lithuania": "LT", "Luxembourg": "LU", "Malta": "MT", "Netherlands": "NL", "Poland": "PL", "Portugal": "PT", "Romania": "RO", "San Marino": "SM", "Slovakia": "SK", "Slovenia": "SI", "Spain": "ES", "Sweden": "SE", "United Kingdom": "GB", "Vatican City": "VA" }
@glesperance's list looked most complete, so here it is as a PHP array:

const isEU = (code: string): boolean => EU.has(code)This is the cleanest way to do this. I have seen developers reach for iteration for matches, try not to do this, as a pre-populated Set will suffice nicely and comes at little cost. For some additional helper utils (which might of use to you all) we open sourced a couple little modules, for dealing with i18n aspects that somewhat pertain to this nexus:
Country code to currency code mappings:
Country code to country name (English) mappings:
Hope it helps! Happy coding.
@bigghe @plpepin @panoply the UK (GB) is no longer in the EU, sadly. So your lists are not correct.
The list of EU countries is here courtesy of Eurostat, the "statistical office of the European Union"
Also, note that the European Commission does not always use ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 codes, including at the Eurostat link above. As explained on Wikipedia:
The European Commission generally uses ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 codes with two exceptions: EL (not GR) is used to represent Greece, and UK (not GB) is used to represent the United Kingdom.[10] This notwithstanding, the Official Journal of the European Communities specified that GR and GB be used to represent Greece and United Kingdom respectively.[11] For VAT administration purposes, the European Commission uses EL and GB for Greece and the United Kingdom respectively.
So, depending on your use case, you may need to amend and extend the list of standard ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 codes
@bradydan is it official in UK already? I will have peek on the E.U governing sites. I am aware of the EL reference for Greece (I am Greek) however the vast majority of services feed GR when they are US based, might be worth adding EL in any sense. Wikipedia cannot be trusted nowadays, I will look on the gov counterparts and amend where necessary once I can confirm. Thanks for taking the time to leave your comment fam.
@bradydan The UK adopted GDPR into the law when they left the EU.
I think this is an up to date 2022 list? https://www.defensorum.com/gdpr-countries-list/
I asked and answered this stack overflow question to come up with this list which I believe is up to date for 2022: AT, BE, BG, HR, CY, CZ, DK, EE, FI, FR, DE, EL, HU, IE, IT, LV, LT, LU, MT, NL, PL, PT, RO, SK, SI, ES, SE, UK
What a helpful thread! The list posted by Dan is almost right - UK is no longer part of the EU.
According to the UK government atleast: https://www.gov.uk/eu-eea
According to the canadian governement from 2013 (so needs modification): https://www23.statcan.gc.ca/imdb/p3VD.pl?Function=getVD&TVD=141329
According to the actual EU: https://european-union.europa.eu/easy-read_en
The alpha 2 code for Greece is GR no EL - which AFIK is not a valid Alpha2 code.
The correct list (with Alpha2 codes) would then be:
AT BE BG HR CY CZ DK EE FI FR DE GR HU IE IT LV LT LU MT NL PL PT RO SK SI ES SE
Cheers!
This thread was originally about EU countries, them @mizterp changed the topic to GDPR countries and it (confusingly) became a mixture of both topics.
Thanks!
