Other than Locale.getISOCountries() that is, because I’m already getting some strange errors with that. What else is the best way to get the 2-letter country codes as well as the full country name?

  1. For a separate project, I took the country code data from the ISO site.

    Beware of the following:

    • The names are in all caps. You will probably want to tweak it so it’s not.
    • The names are not all in simple ASCII.
    • The names are not entirely political neutral (it is probably impossible for any purported list of countries to be). E.g., ‘Taiwan, Province of China’ is a name. A good starting point to learn about the issues is this blog post.
