Composition of macro geographical (continental) regions

We are interested in tracking a business process by the UN Statistical macro geographical regions found at the following website: http://unstats.un.org/unsd/methods/m49/m49regin.htm

Has anyone done this and have any guidance?

Our current thought is that we'd create our own new table that is keyed on the 2-character country codes standard in SAP. We'd like to use the "Alternate Country Key" to represent the 3-digit ISO codes; but, it appears that SAP has prepopulated the field with non-ISO values.

The current table layout would be something like:

2-char ISO code (key)

3-digit alt.country key (delivered with SAP)

3-digit ISO code

3-digit geographical region

3-digit geographical subregion.

The entry for Belgium would look like this:

BE 017 056 155 (Western Europe) 150 (Europe)

Sorry, I am looking for a standard solution for assigning countries to larger geographic regions. The web link provided is information on languages and characters used for program code.
