Just had a look at

to find a country code that gives me dates in ISO8601 format (why
isn't there a simple "LANGUAGE(my-country(ISO))" option to use a
specific currency, but ISO8601 dates/times? RFE?),
and
I was flabbergasted to see that (at least in this PDF) Lithuania,
Latvia, Estonia, Cyprus, Slovakia are still using currencies that no
longer exist, and that Montenegro & Serbia (and probably a few more
countries) don't even seem to exists.

First question: I guess ISO would be ambigous, as there are many ISO
standards which may be considered here.
BTW: despite of errors/outdated informations - things may be more
complicated than "one country, one answer". Serbia have two very
different code pages - one for cyrillic, one latin.
In Poland we have latin only, but wide set of codepages: CP 870 for
EBCDIC, CP852 for PCDOS, CP1250 for Windows, ISO8850-2 for Unix and
Internet-related things. That are in wide use today, however we had much
more, like Mazovia, PESEL, DHN, Świerk, Kajkowski, etc.
Note, the table does not mention only current values, but also some
historical ones - like USSR and ruble, two german countries,
Czechoslovakia, etc.
Of course there is no more Czechoslovakia, and Slovakia has Euro
currency (and my bank was first which finished conversion from former
corona).
And there are of course countries have more than one language. For
example Switzerland has four languages (who know what is the fourth
one?), but US has no official language. ;-)
And or course there are timezones - US have many timezones, but even
countries within same, single timezone may have different regulations
related to DST.
BTW: as far as I know UE decided to get rid of DST, but each country has
to decide which time they will use.
A lot of curiosities.
