Country card
Sri Lanka (LK / LKA / 144): capital Sri Jayawardenepura Kotte, commercial capital Colombo, currency LKR, calling code +94, UTC+05:30, drives on the left.
How the Country Info Lookup works
- Enter a country name or any of its codes.
- Read the card — codes, currency, calling code, and time zone are the fields most often needed together.
- Check the ISO code type you need, since alpha-2, alpha-3, and numeric are used by different systems.
FAQ
Which ISO code should I use in a database?
Alpha-2 for most web work, since it matches domain and locale conventions. Alpha-3 is more readable in reports, and numeric codes survive country renaming best.
Why do some countries have several capitals?
Constitutional and practical functions can be split — a legislative capital separate from the commercial or judicial one. South Africa and Sri Lanka are both examples.
Do time zones ever change?
Yes, and more often than people expect. Countries adjust offsets and daylight saving rules by legislation, which is why software should store a zone name rather than a fixed offset.
