Standard Australian Classification of Countries
The Standard Australian Classification of Countries (SACC) is the Australian statistical standard for statistics classified by country. The SACC is a classification of countries essentially based on the concept of geographical proximity. In its main structure it groups neighbouring countries into progressively broader geographical areas on the basis of their similarity in terms of social, cultural, economic and political characteristics.
The full classification can be ordered or downloaded from the Australian Bureau of Statistics website: SACC (1998 Edition) ABS Cat. no. 1269.0.
