It is ISO 3166 : http://www.geonames.org/geonamesRSS.html

Pat has added some additional elements for the sake of this discussion.
I am not particularly happy with the countryName element as it is
redundant to the iso code and it is more a i18n problem of the gui
displaying the feed entry. It does not add any semantic information to
the feed entry, so it can only be considered an optional and purely
descriptive field. It this descriptive information is required, I would
prefer to have it as an attribute of the countryCode element rather than
as an element of its own.
Cheers
