Update 7 to Geopolitical Entities and Codes, the successor to FIPS standard 10-4, was issued with the date 2012-02-01. It reflects the changes that have occurred in the country's subdivisions since 1980. It shows Tobago as a single division, though. It also changes the spelling of Port-of-Spain to Port of Spain.
International standard ISO 3166-2 was published on December 15, 1998. It superseded ISO/DIS 3166-2 (draft international standard). For
Trinidad and Tobago, the draft standard showed eight counties, three municipalities, and one ward. The final standard shows eleven regions
and five municipalities. Most of the codes are different, but the code "SGE" was Saint George in the old scheme and Sangre
Grande in the new one. The change in the standard corresponds to an actual change in the administrative division of Trinidad and Tobago.
