Question

Where can I get a list of easily parseable country codes and names? Note: 2 letter codes wanted. Examples:

au,Australia

uk,United Kingdom

us,United States

etc

Answer 1

The ISO 3166-1 list of country codes is what I was looking for.

For more information you can also find general information about country codes on Wikipedia and a – possibly more up to date list – ISO 3166-1 list as well.
