Summarize this article for a 10 year old
ISO 3166-2:KP is the entry for North Korea (officially the Democratic People's Republic of Korea) in ISO 3166-2, part of the ISO 3166 standard published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), which defines codes for the names of the principal subdivisions (e.g., provinces or states) of all countries coded in ISO 3166-1.
Currently for North Korea, ISO 3166-2 codes are defined for 2 metropolitan cities, 1 capital city, 1 special city, and 9 provinces. All of them except the metropolitan city are province-level subdivisions. The three special administrative regions, i.e., the Kaesong Industrial Region, the Mount Kumgang Tourist Region, and the Sinuiju Special Administrative Region, are not listed.
Each code consists of two parts, separated by a hyphen. The first part is KP, the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code of North Korea. The second part is two digits:
- 01: capital city
- 02ā10: provinces
- 13: special city
- 14ā15: metropolitan cities
