automation - Source of data for "official" country/region list -

-

Recently we are presenting users of our web-application with a list of old countries / regions

Names of localized countries have been collected with our region (states) with some DB tables presently present. Although in the form of a planet, this list is in continuous development and some areas are destroyed, it is proving to be a pain to maintain some merged-existing data needs to be updated all the time.

What is it, if anybody is present, is it best practice to deal with the list of multi-local countries / regions?

Is there a place or a standard location? I know of ISO 3166, but their list is not exactly DB friendly ... plus it is not fully localized.

Will an ideal solution allow us to "sync" it? Preferably in multiple languages ​​

thanks

post-lesson " Itemprop = "text">

looks great: multiple languages, update options, database for independent file formats for import, information about countries / regions / cities, and some other features you can use or not.

And if you need it for only one server then it is quite cheap.
