state-codes

Comprehensive Brazilian state code information, including ISO 3166-2:BR codes (the official 2-letter code abbreviations), IBGE state codes, and "timelines" of each state creation. Provided as a Simple Data Format Data Package (see datapackage.json visualization).

Strictly, each code designates an federation unit ("Unidade da Federação" - UF), that can be a state as usual country-scale area segmentation, and can be also capital districts and territories.

The time-zone conventions are expressed in state-scale, so they are part of this dataset.
