how do i organize country data (countries, states and cities etc) in mysql?

cause every country has 3 tables: countries, states and cities.

should i have each country in separate set of tables or should i have them all in these 3 tables? if i have all of them in same tables, im afraid that the amount of rows will be huge cause i tend to have a lot of countries!

what is best practice for this?

    countryTable(countryId(PK),countryName)

stateTable(stateId(PK),stateName,belongCountryId(FK))

cityTable(cityId(PK),cityTable,belongStateId(FK))

    you can use “Cascade query” or Create “View” to get information from these 3 tables.
