A nice overview of the electrical systems and plugs in the world:

scroll down for maps
230 Volt 50Hz is the standard in practically all of the world.
"230V" includes 220-240V, moving toward 240V in the long run.
The exception is the US-dominated part of the world: North America, parts
of Latin America, and Saudi Arabia. 110 Volt 60 Hz.
Korea, Japan, Madagaskar, and a few other small places have other
mixes of the same voltages and frequencies. (110V 50Hz and 230V 60Hz)

The countries which earlier used 220V are moving up towards 240V.
In my country we had the 220V norm earlier, but changed to 230 norm and
the real measured voltage now is actually around 235V.
