I thought these were US-related entities.

When I make this kind of a query to geoNames, I get nothing back.

http://api.geonames.org/search?featureCode=PRK&username=genadinik&country=US&style=full&adminCode1=CR&maxRows=10

Does anyone know how to query for parks in these territories?

As this is the fourth question you've asked along similar lines, might I suggest you look at the files that are on the GeoNames website? The file you're looking for is download.geonames.org/export/dump/countryInfo.txt Which gives you all the country codes. I'll leave choosing the right country code for the Maldives as an exercise for the reader. – MerseyViking May 22 '11 at 13:52

@Mersey In response to your observation, I have merged the three most similar questions: they all concern identifying the correct country codes for park queries. – whuber♦ May 22 '11 at 15:46
According to the documentation geonames.org/export/geonames-search.html the country names are ISO-3166 iso.org/iso/country_codes.htm – MathiasWestin May 23 '11 at 6:34
Since your question about the Maldives was closed, let me note here that MA is the code for Morocco; the code for the Maldives is MV. Here is a friendlier link to the ISO 3166-1-alpha-2 codes. – Jaime Soto May 31 '11 at 14:58

Puerto Rico isn't included under the 'US' label (likely due to its unincorporated status), it can instead by found by changing the country to 'PR':

The country code for American Samoa is AS. Try something like this: http://api.geonames.org/search?featureCode=PRK&username=genadinik&country=AS&maxRows=1000
