Hierarchical administrative subdivision codes (HASC) are codes to represent names of country subdivisions, such as states, province, regions. They are described in the book Administrative Subdivisions of Countries: A Comprehensive World Reference, 1900 Through 1998, written by Gwillim Law († August 31, 2016).[1]

The codes are alphabetic and have constant length for the first level subdivisions. Examples: 

DE - Germany 
DE.NW - North Rhine-Westphalia
DE.NW.CE - Kreis Coesfeld
