Has the Ukrainian government been allotted a membership in the E.U.? Is so, when? This will change the life of millions of people for the better. Let’s dump Putin. Democracy rules. 2600:1702:1F30:1190:7439:47E3:2BD0:ACD6 (talk) 23:22, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

ISO 3166-1 country codes aren't really used in EU context, so I don't see that as a relevant information to have in the table. However, EU has their own two-letter country code standard, which is described here in the Interinstitutional Style Guide by the Publications Office of the European Union. The EU standard is generally same as the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2, except in the case of Greece (EL).

I would propose to delete the three-letter ISO standard column, and change the two-letter ISO standard column to match the EU standard. A new heading for that could be "Country code" + a reference to the Interinstitutional Style Guide page. Samoasambia (talk) 00:27, 24 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This is a list article. Why is there no "list of" in the title? Gadir (talk) 12:31, 19 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The map in the looks fine, but there is no key to indicate what the different shades of green are supposed to represent. I'm not sure the process for adding something like that, but even if I did I personally couldn't do it because I don't know what it is representative of.

It doesn't represent anything, it's just visual differentiation between the various member states. CMD (talk) 01:58, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The number of semi-presidential republics shown on the map does not correspond with the text. Ntmr (talk) 12:52, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ireland's most common name in English is Ireland. There's a note next to its entry in the table that a prior discussion found Republic of Ireland to be less ambiguous, but I can't find that discussion in the archives. Ireland fits for every other country list I can find, and Template:flag links directly to  Ireland. Wizmut (talk) 01:37, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
