Regions and Countries Table G 300:

The regions and countries table was developed in order to insure uniformity of Cutter numbers in all classes. It is applied to new entries in the shelflist when the form caption in the classification schedule reads By region or country, A-Z, provided that there is no conflict with existing entries. The table comprises countries, regions, historical jurisdictions or entities, and islands. G 300 provides guidelines for applying the regions and countries table and for establishing new Cutters for the table. For principles governing Cuttering by region or country, see F 430, Subject Cataloging Manual: Shelflisting .
